Tata Steel 2011 Live Coverage
As recently previewed, the re-named Tata Steel tournament (formerly Corus) will run from 14-30 January in Wijk Aan Zee in the Netherlands.
The name may have changed, but the format remains the same with three separate A, B and C 14-player round-robin GM tournaments being the highlight of this wonderful chess festival.
Games start at 13:30 local time (12:30 GMT and 07:30 EST) except the final round which starts at 12:00 local time (11:00 GMT and 06:00 EST), and Chess.com is pleased to announce live coverage of the event at Chess.com/TV!
The first round will be covered by IM David Pruess. Look out for details of commentators for future games!
Rest days are on 19, 24 and 27 January, and the time control is 40 moves in 100 minutes, followed by 20 moves in 50 minutes, and then 15 minutes more to finish with a 30 second increment from the start of the game.
