The Donostia Chess Festival 2011-12 commemorated the centenary of an event won by Jose Raul Capablanca. The event was a knock-out which takes place Wednesday Dec 28th 2011, - Thursday Jan 5th 2012. The event starred Vugar Gashimov, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Alexander Moiseenko, Etienne Bacrot, Arkadij Naiditsch. The format is unusual a knock-out tournament with some modifications, as the players who get eliminated will keep playing in a parallel group. And the main novelty is that, following David Bronstein's idea, matches will consist of two games of classical chess played simultaneously. So no one has the advantage of playing the first game with the white pieces. Andrei Volokitin beat Viktor Laznicka 2-0 in the final.
