Peru's young chess star qualifies to World Chess Cup in Russia
Peru's young chess star Jorge Cori qualified to the World Chess Cup to be held in Khanty Mansiysk, Russia, after participating in the American Continental Chess Championship 2011 in Toluca, Mexico.
Cuban Grandmaster Lazaro Bruzon won the championship with 7.5 points. However, since he had already qualified to the World Cup during the last competition held in Dominican Republic, the second to seventh-place competitors qualified to the World Cup.
Jorge Cori came in fifth place, thus qualified for the upcoming tournament.
Cori, ranked a Grandmaster, has hopes of winning another title, just like in 2009, when he obtained the U-14 World Chess Title in Turkey.
