Round 2 of the Leça Chess Open kicks off tomorrow in Portugal, bringing together Jacobson, Reyes, Gorodetzky, and Maerevoet in a competitive 9-round Swiss. The 90-minute time control with 30-second increments rewards preparation and endgame precision. Early pairings matter here. Players who navigate round two cleanly position themselves for the tournament's middle rounds, where the field typically tightens. Leça continues its reputation for attracting solid European talent.
