"It is very satisfying to see that following
the success of the Tradewise Gibraltar Chess
Festival the Junior Chess Festival is also being
established very successfully. It is intended that,
with the support of all sponsors and other
affiliates, this Junior tournament will continue
developing for the benefit of chess internationally,
and particularly in Gibraltar where its positive
effects are already being recognised."
- Joe Hernandez;
CEO; Gibraltar Sports and Leisure Authority.
"The Tradewise
Gibraltar Chess Festival, now in its 11th year, is
often referred to as the Best Open Chess Tournament
in the World. What we are doing with the Junior
Chess Tournament, in partnership with the Government
of Gibraltar, is seeking to extend that success to
involve and engage with younger chess players from
across the world, and in the time that we have been
involved we have witnessed a revived interest in the
playing of chess in Gibraltar amongst our young
people."
- Albert Isola,
trustee, Kusuma Trust. |

Professionals (ACP) is proud to support the

notable event on the global map of junior chess. The
top three Under 16s in this year's festival (to

free membership of the ACP, joining the company of
the strongest chess players in the world."
- Emil Sutovsky, ACP President
The Caleta Hotel Gibraltar offers high quality
conference, wedding, accommodation, restaurant &
leisure facilities to an international clientele of
well-travelled business visitors, families & those
simply spending a holiday, short break, or leisurely
long weekend in Gibraltar.
The hotel has modern well-appointed rooms and
suites, restaurants, a lounge bar, health & beauty
club and the best wedding, conference and banqueting
facilities anywhere in a Gibraltar hotel.
A favoured hotel for business travellers and
those visiting Gibraltar for a short break or
holiday, this classic 4 star Gibraltar hotel is
located on the tranquil eastside of the Rock; a
vantage point that offers simply stunning views of
the Mediterranean Sea and the coastline of the Costa
del Sol.
Surrounded by these sights, the Caleta Hotel
overlooks the peaceful former fishing village of
Catalan Bay, yet it is just minutes away from the
centre and airport of this lively little metropolis
- ideal for your shopping in Gibraltar. On clear
days, the North African coast, on the other side of
the Straits of Gibraltar, seems close enough to
touch - creating a visual spectacle that offers
180-degree views of sea, sky and the meeting of two
continents.
More information about the Caleta Hotel is
available here.
