The Gibtelecom Chess Festival (aka Gibraltar 2009) is up an running. There is a smaller Australian contingent this year (last year Zong Yuan Zhao scored his final GM norm there), but the flag is being flown by IA Manuel Weeks, who has taken over from Stewart Reuben as tournament director.
Once again the event has attracted a huge number of GM's and IM's, although it is the untitled English player Gary Quillan who has attracted a large amount of attention. He drew with the top seed Vugar Gashimov in round 1 and defeated GM Milos Pavlovic in round 3.
The event has an excellent website and is carrying live coverage of games, not only from the Masters section, but also from the Challengers event which starts in the morning (early evening Canberra time).
