The score is 3.5 to 1.5 in favor of Vela.
Jose has the opportunity to play the English Opening and he does exactly that. No surprise for he has to play for a win to get back in the match.
On move 7 Jose avoids going into the Symmetrical Main line with 7. d4. Instead he chooses to play a lesser-played line with 7. Bb2!?. Vela plays it nicely and manages to hold the balance until he falls into a somewhat passive position. Jose manages to get a dominating position, but fails to keep his grip on the position. Vela manages to get back in the game and after a heart-stopping finish they agree to a draw. Fighting chess at its best!
