Warren Seymour Classic 2016

In his first FIDE-rated tournament in nearly three years, Frank Gibson showed that he is still a major force in Bahamas chess.  Gibson successfully held off every challenge that he faced in his comeback, including a sixth-round thriller against candidate master Nathan Smith.

Demonstrating razor-sharp play, Smith had Gibson on the ropes for much of the game until a series of inaccuracies gave Gibson the edge that he needed.  From that point on, Gibson never looked back.

Gibson went on to finish the tournament with a perfect 6.0 points, two full points ahead of the field.  Closing out tied for second place was the trio of Philip Hanna Jr., Clive Stuart, and CM Nathan Smith.
