The “best open tournament in the world”
The official opening was carried out by Gibraltar’s Sport, Culture and Youth Minister Steven Linares who gave his government’s full support to the event. The Government, he told all those present, thought very highly of this tournament.
“This is why we invest in this tournament and we are now its biggest sponsor and will continue for many years to come. The value of this tournament to us is immense,” he said.
Everyone in Gibraltar he added was proud to be celebrating 17 years of chess on the Rock.
“This is the best open tournament in the world. For little Gibraltar where we only have 32, 0000 people we are very, very proud of this tournament.”
