Keep an eye on:
Quillan - Dubov [+2.6, but zeitnot}
Gara - Aronian (Black may hold)
I can't stay; must go and play

Makes up for the time he let off the late Vugar Gashimov with a draw from a winning position in a previous round one in Gibraltar!

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
Anita Gara has an interesting first three rounds.
1 1 1 GM Aronian Levon 2797 ARM 1,5 w ½
2 58 5 GM Harikrishna P. 2745 IND 1,0 s ½
3 52 7 GM Vitiugov Nikita 2732 RUS 1,0 w
edit : and she can't even get on one of the top fifty show boards!

39...Qxg7 looks better to me

Re: Tradewise Gibraltar Festival 2018
39...Qxg7 40.Qxd1 is easily winning for white, though. The text gives him more chances to go wrong.
