Yerisbel Miranda
Havana, May 18 (JIT) - Yerisbel Miranda completed four points out of a possible five and remained the leader of the Central American Women's Chess Championship, which has already passed the halfway point of its schedule in the city of Santa Clara.
The bronze medalist of the last national competition agreed a draw in her most recent game with her compatriot Maritza Arribas, who dropped to third place on 3.5 points.
The hosts Yaniela Forgas, Oleiny Linares and Amanda Muñiz, ranked second, fourth and fifth in the ranking, in that order, will assume the sixth round.
Yaniela and Oleiny made peace on the day, while Amanda sealed without a decision her battle with Jinela Rodriguez, another of the locals who form the group of 29 candidates for the regional throne.
Jessica Callender, from Guyana, is the visitor with the best result so far, but she only has two points, thanks in part to her success in the fifth round against Cuba's Karen Torres.
The Central American competition of the Science Game is being held at the Guillermo Garcia Academy in the capital of Villa Clara and its results will be taken into account for the formation of the women's team that will represent Cuba at the Chess Olympiad in Budapest 2024.
