ALso, first ever from Cental America and currently the second youngest in the
World -- well done Alejandro!
The 9th game probably clinched the GM title. GM Alekseev refused the draw by
repetition and with 54. Ka4 and subsequently lost the game with the move 56. Kb3
being the clunker. White clearly has the advantage at with 31. Rc7 - but then
played less than accurate for the several moves beginning with 34.Kc3 and lost
the initiative.
