Gibraltar Starts Tomorrow

In case Wijk aan Zee isn't enough to keep your interest, there's good news: the Masters tournament of the 2019 Gibraltar International Chess Festival starts tomorrow (Tuesday). Not all the top players who aren't already in WaZ are playing in Gibraltar, but it's close. 13 2700s are playing, including Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Levon Aronian, Wesley So, Yu Yangyi, Hikaru Nakamura, and David Navara. Of the top 10 players in the world, only Fabiano Caruana and Alexander Grischuk aren't playing in one event or the other, and if we go down to #20 only Sergey Karjakin, Veselin Topalov, and Peter Svidler are in absentia - and we're really getting more of Svidler than anyone else since he's doing the commentary for Chess24. Good times, my friends, but it's a pity the events aren't staggered.

The Masters tournament goes 10 rounds and runs through the end of the month, the 31st.

[An exit question: There is one other top 20 player who is absent - or is there? The United States' most recent super-GM, Leinier Dominguez, has a current rating of 2739 according to Wikipedia and, more importantly, FIDE. But he doesn't show up on the 2700chess site. There's no inactivity flag on Dominguez's page, so I'm not sure what's happening. If there's something more to this than an oversight on the 2700 site, maybe someone can fill us all in.]
