10th Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival 2012
The major event of the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival - the Gibraltar Masters - got underway at the Caleta Hotel. This is the tenth in the series of major international chess events held on the Rock and the second one to be sponsored by Tradewise Insurance. Last year winner Michael Adams may have some hard time to keep his title with such guest stars like Svidler, Polgar, Hou, Mamedyarov or Shirov.
