This is the Tata Steel Chess Tournament that has been termed “The Wimbledon of Chess”. It had occurred in 1938 at Beverwijk, Netherlands and began as a local event involving only 44 players. Over the course of time it blossomed into one of the most prominent chess tournaments in the world, relocated to Wijk aan Zee in 1968. The tournament is unparalleled because it consists of the world’s best grandmasters and amateur players to provide an exhilarating atmosphere of chess in this small seaside village. It has been running for a long time, and it is where both world-famous winners like Magnus Carlsen and Viktor Korchnoi have featured. The event also has many traditions; part of them is Dutch pea soup being dished out during closing ceremonies.
