The Memorial Giancarlo Gervasi kicks off this Friday in Anzio with Carnicelli facing Caprio in round one. This Swiss tournament runs on classical time, 90 minutes plus 30-second increment, the kind of format that rewards preparation and punishes careless play. The field gathers to honor Gervasi while competitors hunt rating points on the Lichess broadcast stage. First impressions matter in any tournament, and both players know it.
