Yuniesky Quesada won the knockout finals of the sixteenth Carlos Torre Memorial in Mérida. He defeated Thomas Luther and Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu in extended matches, then beat Boris Gelfand and Valerij Filippov by the same 1½–½ score. All 43 knockout games survive in Mega2024.
Through the tiebreaks
Quesada overcame Luther 3–2 in the first round and Nisipeanu 3–2 in the quarterfinal. His semifinal against Gelfand and final against Filippov each ended after two games. Filippov reached the final by defeating Luis Manuel Pérez, Amon Simutowe and Alonso Zapata.
A complete knockout collection
The fifteen matches produced 43 games across four knockout rounds: 26 in the first round, eleven in the quarterfinals, four in the semifinals and two in the final. Every published match is represented, including its tiebreak games. The Swiss competition continued separately to nine rounds; its games are outside this collection.
Every native date, player pairing, match-game label and result matches the contemporary knockout PGN. Forty-two mainlines match exactly. In Quesada–Luther, the second first-round game, Mega2024 records 43.Rc8 while the contemporary score has 43.Rd8. Both legal scores finish with 46.Rf8+, the same position and a White win. The native score is preserved throughout.
Ajedrez en Madrid prints a 3–2 total for Nisipeanu–Román Hernández, although its five individual results total 4–1. The 4–1 score agrees with TWIC and all five native and contemporary game records. Its final columns also reverse the game sequence shown by both PGNs; the final match total is unchanged. The archive retains all native rounds and dates.
Result
This complete collection is a knockout with tiebreak games; aggregate game points do not form an all-player cross table. The separate nine-round Swiss tournament is a different collection.
