After his game 1 escape Aronian had a more convincing game 2 and won his match 2-0. MVL & Nakamura drew the second and are now playing a two-game blitz match followed (if needed) by an armageddon game.

Are the tiebreak rules actually on the website?

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
From https://www.gibchess.com/masters
It doesn't give the detailed rules for "a speed knock-out play-off"The first prize may not be shared.
In the event of a tie for first place, there shall be a play-off. If there are four or fewer players tied for first place, there will be a speed knock-out play-off for the first prize of £25,000.
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.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I got that far easily enough, but that seemed to be all there is.

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
When I went to Gibraltar as a game-inputter, the playoff was played while games were still going on in the room. From memory Irina Krush was playing, and I didn't mind that the game was so long because she has neat handwriting.LawrenceCooper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 3:57 pmIt wouldn't be the first time that a tournament had ploughed ahead with play-offs and discounted unfinished games.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2018 3:55 pmThey might want to tell themselves that they still have Wang v Howell in progress
