Alexey: shouldn't Gibraltar be transcribed with two Cyrillics D+ZhE
(the latter being two K's back to back, illegal in Chess!)? I know
they use the Russian hard G, but that's not the right sound. And might
a Russian think it's Hibraltar as in Gamlet? BTW: Brits say Gib for
short, pronounced Jib as in Jibs-Tops'l-Halyards, a well-known Shanty
injunction.
