FIDE WGP - Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Ricardo Visit

May 26, 2021

“Welcome, ladies - the gentlemen here are superfluous, just literally to take your picture!

Welcome to Gibraltar.

The last time I was in this room for chess there were literally hundreds of players facing each other for the open which Brian [Callaghan] organises in January. So I can see that you are a very select group of players and that there are less of you because, obviously, the value of what you bring far eclipses the people who fill this room when we have the open."
