Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2022

The Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2022 is the 84th edition of the annual chess tournament held in Wijk aan Zee. It was held from 14 January to 30 January 2022.[1] No visitors were allowed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Netherlands.[2] Norwegian GM Magnus Carlsen scored 9.5/13 in the Masters section with 6 wins and 7 draws, thereby winning the tournament for the eighth time in his career. Indian GM Arjun Erigaisi dominated the Challengers section, winning with a score of 10.5/13, with an impressive 8 wins and 5 draws. World No. 2 Alireza Firouzja failed to reach an agreement with the organizers for compensation for an incident in 2021, and as such didn't participate.[3]

Notes

a Dubov forfeited his match in Round 7 against Anish Giri due to COVID-19 contamination in his inner circle and his refusal to wear a mask.[10][11] He was allowed to play again without a mask after several tests including a PCR returned negative.[12]

b Dubov tested positive for COVID-19 prior to Round 11, hence he was forced to forfeit his games against Rapport, Praggnanandhaa, and Carlsen respectively.[13][14]
