Dominguez —the best-ranked Latin American player with an ELO rating of
2,710 points— played with the black pieces and defeated Dreev (2,711)
after 80 moves of a Grunfeld Defense.

The Cuban player is defending the first board of the Sestao Naturgas
Energía club, one of the pre-tournament favorite teams to win the event.

With this result, Dominguez contributed to his team’s 4.5-1.5 victory over
the Reverte Albox club.

Also on Monday, Colegio Markote-EIKM took a 4-2 win over the Solvay club,
and Linex-Magic beat Cajacanarias 4.5 to 1.5.
