1) Introduction

My thanks to Olexandr Prohorov, Holger Lieske, Patricia Llaneza Vega, Simon McNamara, and everyone else who helped both with this issue.

The Gibraltar Masters ended in a big tie of 7 players on 7.5/10. The use of tie-break coefficients produced a final four who played off for the title, David Paravyan emerging the winner. This week has been a little quieter, an event to note is that Magnus Carlsen did play and win a banter blitz match on Chess24 and there were a few strong matchups in rapid chess in the PRO Chess League.

Hope you enjoy this issue.

2) Gibraltar Chess Festival 2020

The Gibraltar Chess Festival took place 19th to 30th January 2020. 21-year-old, Russian star David Paravyan won the event after a tie-break involving the top four finishers. 7 players finished on 7.5/9, only four qualified a final knockout to win the title. Andrey Esipenko had led for most of the final half of the event but he lost a final decisive Armageddon tie-break to the eventual winner Paravyan.
