The 2011 Tradewise Gibraltar Chess Festival took place at the Caleta Hotel, Gibraltar, from Monday 24 January to Thursday 3 February 2011. The new primary sponsors, Tradewise Insurance Company Ltd, enabled the prize fund to be increased to £126,000, with £17,500 going to the winner of the Gibraltar Masters, £10,000 to the top woman scorer and two extra rating prizes (of £2,000 and £1,000) being awarded to each of two further rating bands (2000-2099 and under 2000) in the Masters. The tournament was powered by previous primary sponsors Gibtelecom.
Vassily Ivanchuk, Michael Adams, Fabiano Caruana, Francisco Vallejo Pons, Viktor Bologan, Krishnan Sasikiran, Alexander Onischuk, Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu, Kiril Georgiev, Pentala Harikrishna and Nigel Short were amongst the top players who competed. Vassily Ivanchuk ran away with the tournament scoring 9/10. Nigel Short was a point clear of the rest of the field with 8.5/10, he lost to Ivanchuk and otherwise conceded just one draw for a score that would have surely won most years.
