Tiviakov, with an Elo 2,650 points, triumphed over his U.S. peer Alejandro
Ramirez (2,595) and completed 7.5 units, in nine matches.

That score was unreachable for Cuban GMs Arencibia (2,511) and Aramis
Alvarez (2,565), who ended with seven points, despite their victories in
the final rounds of the Open, according to the www.chess-results.com website.

Walter defeated Colombian Sergio Barrientos (2,517) in the final match to
come out better than Aramis, who won over his fellow country player GM
Isam Ortiz (2,553).

On the other hand, the Cuban female representatives made a triumphal exit
garnering the best and second best female prizes, for GM Oleiny Linares
and GM Lisandra Ordaz respectively, and adding points to their Elo.

Linares (2,335), in the 10th position of the standings with 6.5 points,
added 39.6 to her ELO, while Ordaz (2,358), earned an International Master
(IM) norm, without gender distinction.

Ordaz, who ended in the 15th place with six points, added 19.6 points to
her ELO and will appear in January rankings with a national and personal
best ever of 2,378.
