Best rating:
The Gibraltar Masters
was won by the top two seeds
Hikaru Nakamura and Maxime Vachier Lagrave. Both showed
great chess and deservedly won the tournament, but the first
place had to be decided with a tiebreak. We are following now
the first tiebreak game with the timecontrol of - minutes
with additional seconds per move.

The Alapin variation. Quite rare on the highest
level, but Nakamura thought it could be dangerous in a rapid
game.

White points out the drawback of the c -c
move, which temporarily restricts the movement and the
development of the white pieces, but a er it gets undermined
by b cxb axb , the exchange clearly favors to him as he
manages to lure a black pawn out of the center while he takes
