The '''Tata Steel Chess Tournament''' is an annual chess tournament held in January in [[Wijk aan Zee]], the Netherlands. It was called the '''Hoogovens Tournament'''  from its creation in 1938 until the sponsor [[Koninklijke Hoogovens]] merged with [[British Steel (1967–1999)|British Steel]] to form the [[Corus Group]] in 1999, after which the tournament was called the '''Corus Chess Tournament'''. Corus Group became [[Tata Steel Europe]] in 2007. Despite the name changes, the series is numbered sequentially from its Hoogovens beginnings; for example, the 2011 event was referred to as the 73rd Tata Steel Chess Tournament.<ref name="India News">{{cite web |url=http://news.indiavoice.info/travel/anand-leads-tata-steel-chess-round-8-2011012512486/ |title=Anand leads at Tata Steel Chess |publisher=IndiaVoice |date=2011-01-25 |access-date=25 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170608223705/http://news.indiavoice.info/travel/anand-leads-tata-steel-chess-round-8-2011012512486 |archive-date=8 June 2017 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/participants-tata-tournament-announced/ |title=Participants Tata Tournament announced |publisher=ChessVibes |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101024061206/http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/participants-tata-tournament-announced| archive-date = 24 October 2010| date = 21 October 2010 }}</ref>

Top [[Grandmaster (chess)|grandmasters]] compete in the tournament, but regular club players are welcome to play as well. The Masters group pits fourteen of the world's best against each other in a [[round-robin tournament]], and has sometimes been described as the "[[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] of Chess".<ref>{{cite web|url =https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/jan/12/chess-magnus-carlsen-wijk-aan-zee|title =Magnus Carlsen aims for strong showing at 'Wimbledon of chess' event|first =Leonard|last =Barden|website =The Guardian|date =12 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url =https://www.fide.com/component/content/article/4-tournaments/10655-magnus-carlsen-wins-tata-steel-chess-tournament-2018.html|title =Magnus Carlsen wins Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2018|publisher =FIDE|date =29 January 2018|quote =the Tata Steel Chess, often called as "Wimbledon of Chess", celebrated its 80th anniversary|access-date =18 March 2018|archive-date =28 January 2019|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20190128135354/https://www.fide.com/component/content/article/4-tournaments/10655-magnus-carlsen-wins-tata-steel-chess-tournament-2018.html|url-status =dead}}</ref> Since 1938, there has been a long list of famous winners, including [[Max Euwe]], [[Bent Larsen]], [[Tigran Petrosian]], [[Paul Keres]], [[Lajos Portisch]], [[Boris Spassky]], [[Mikhail Botvinnik]], [[Mikhail Tal]], [[Viktor Korchnoi]], [[Jan Timman]], [[Anatoly Karpov]], [[Vasyl Ivanchuk]], [[Vladimir Kramnik]], [[Garry Kasparov]], [[Viswanathan Anand]], [[Veselin Topalov]], [[Levon Aronian]], [[Sergey Karjakin]], and [[Magnus Carlsen]].

In 2001, nine of the top ten players in the world participated.

Magnus Carlsen holds the record for most wins at the tournament, with eight titles to his name. Anand is the only other player to have won the event five or more times. Anand also holds the record of most consecutive games played at the tournament without a loss (70&nbsp;– from 1998 to 2004).

== Tournament history ==

===Hoogovens Beverwijk===
The early tournaments were very small, starting with groups of four in 1938, and entry restricted to Dutch players. The first five tournaments continued this way, with the contest held annually early in January. In 1943 and 1944 the tournament field was doubled in size to eight players. No tournament was held in 1945 due to World War II. The first international tournament was held in 1946. The main tournament field was expanded to ten, with invitations to [[Alberic O'Kelly de Galway]] (Belgium) and [[Gösta Stoltz]] (Sweden) along with a Dutch contingent of eight.

The tournament field remained at ten until 1953 when it was increased to twelve, and an international women's tournament was also held. In 1954 the tournament field was returned to ten players, but the strength of the competitions increased. The field was greatly enlarged to 18 in 1963, and although it reduced to 16 in 1964, the event had become the strongest international chess tournament in the world {{harv|Golombek|1977|p=143}}.

As the tournament grew in stature, the ancillary women's tournament became a regular feature, as did a 'Masters' event and 'Masters Reserves' events. There also began a tradition to operate a year on year invitation policy that resembled the system used in football 'league tables'; the winner of a lesser category event would receive an invitation to the next higher event the following year.

The 1946 tournament was one of the first European international chess tournaments after World War II. Food shortages were still a problem in Europe, so the post-tournament banquet featured [[pea soup]], inexpensive fare of the common people. In subsequent years pea soup has been served as the first course of the concluding banquet, a tradition continued when the tournament was moved from Beverwijk to Wijk aan Zee {{harv|Damsky|Sugden|2005|p=164}}.

==Multiple winners==
Until recently, players ending on the same score shared the title.

The first tie-break was held in 2018, with [[Magnus Carlsen]] defeating [[Anish Giri]] 1½–½. The two players sharing first place after the regular games play two [[Fast chess#Blitz|Blitz]] games and then possibly also an [[Fast chess#Armageddon|Armageddon]] game to decide a sole winner.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tatasteelchess.com/about/tournament/|title = Tournament – Tata Steel Chess Tournament}}</ref>
