13 January 2011, Kuala Lumpur – The once-called Corus Chess Tournament held in the Netherlands is now called the Tata Steel Chess Tournament. The tournament will begin Friday, 14th January until Sunday, January 30th 2011 at Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands.
Chessvibes.com reports that The Grandmaster Group A has an average rating of 2740 and is a Category 20 event. The organizers got the world’s top 4 coming to Wijk aan Zee: Carlsen, Anand, Aronian and Kramnik. And what we already see in this top group is that the organizers always invite a number of players who are known for their interesting chess and fighting spirit. In this category fit players such as Nakamura, Nepomniachtchi and Shirov. Giri qualified from B last year and the other local heros are the two GMs famously born on the same day: Erwin l’Ami and Jan Smeets, both regular seconds of Bulgarian top GM Veselin Topalov.
