The Women's FIDE Grand Prix Gibraltar postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions in the British Oversea Territory will take place from May 22 to June 2, 2021.
Hosting this prestigious event opens a new chapter in Gibraltar's continued tradition of supporting chess, in general, and the best female chess players, in particular.
Since the inception of the Gibraltar Chess Festival in 2003, almost all the world's top female players have taken part, including the greatest woman player of all time, Judit Polgar, as well as a total of seven Women's World Champions.
The fourth and final leg of the FIDE Women's Grand Prix will be hosted by Caleta Hotel. As usual, twelve players will compete in a round-robin tournament.
Time control: 90 minutes for 40 moves, plus 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus 30 seconds increment per move starting from first move.
