Havana, November 11 (JIT) -- Carlos Larduet got another victory and maintained the best pace among Cubans in the World Chess Championship for People with Disabilities, which completed six of its nine rounds agreed online to be held through the site www.tornelo.com.

The experienced player from Santiago, who is visually impaired, defeated Ashvin K. Makwana from India on Wednesday to reach 5.5 points. And although by tiebreaker he is in sixth place, he is only half a point behind leader Stanislav Babarykin, from Russia, the only one with a perfect performance after beating his compatriot Ilia Lipilin.

Also with 5.5 points are Mongolia's Dashtseren Ganbat, Poland's Marcin Molenda, Armenia's Sargis Sargissyan and Venezuela's Harlen José Otero.

Precisely the South American will be Larduet's opponent this Thursday, in a duel that is presumed to be complicated, according to the national team's coach, Rodney Perez.

In the sixth date Cuba also enjoyed the victories of Alberto Interián by disqualification of the Indian Audietya Aazadh Pamarthi, of Mario Pallerols against the Ecuadorian Esteban Jacome and of Lorenzo Alexis Simón against the Turkish Umuralp Yalcinkaya.

Draws by Idalis Batista and Elio Eddys Garcia, and defeats by Karla Marrero and Raul Leonardo Lavigne, completed the day's results for the islanders.

According to the tournament rules, each game is played with a 45-minute time limit, plus a 30-second increment after each move. In addition, it is mandatory to have cameras on for live transmission, in order to facilitate the vision of the referees, because although this is the fourth edition of the tournament, for the first time the virtual variant is being tested.
