Round Ten
At this point in time MVL-Maghsoodloo is still going on.
These final scores in:
1. Esipenko, Yuffa, Wang Hao, Paravyan, Navara, Yilmaz 7.5
We are waiting for MVL-Maghsoodloo but the chances are nil that Magh will join the above.
The rules state this:
Masters: The first prize may not be shared. All other prizes shall be shared where players have the same score (except the Women’s First Prize).
In the event of a tie for first place, there shall be a speed play-off.
If there are two or four players tied for first place, there will be a speed knock-out play-off for the first prize of £30,000. If three players tie for first place, the player with the highest performance rating will be seeded directly into the Final of the Play-Off; the other two players will contest the Semi-Final.
If more than four players tie for first place, the four players with the highest performance ratings shall qualify for the play-off to decide the first prize.

Congrats to Victor Plotkin for making a IM norm. Also to Raja Panjwani for a very nice tournament, just short of a GM norm. Very entertaining chess.Comment

David Paravyan is the winner of the Gibraltar Masters
Comments on the Final
- 30.000 for winner and more or less 10.000 for the others*, so a 20.000 £ play off!!
- Wang Hao is in the #GibChess final and will be able to get some rest while his opponent plays at least two more blitz games:
- 21-year-old David Paravyan beats Andrey Esipenko in Armageddon and will now play Wang Hao for £30,000!
- David Paravyan is now one draw with the white pieces away from winning #GibChess 2020 after beating Wang Hao in the first game of the final!
- Congratulations to 21-year-old Russian David Paravyan on beating Wang Hao in the playoff final to win the #GibChess Masters & the £30,000 top prize. David is 3 days younger than last year's Russian winner, Vladislav Artemiev!
