English grandmaster Nigel Short (R) wins the 10th Tradewise Chess Festival in Gibraltar, Jan 2, 2012, after beating Chinese grandmaster Hou Yifan (L) in a blitz playoff. Both players had finished on 8/10. The 17-year-old Hou made history by beating the legendary and almost invincible Judit Polgar of Hungary, the strongest female player of all time, in round seven of the Gibraltar tournament.
