Anish Giri wins his 1st Tata Steel Masters!

by L'immortale

Anish Giri, five times the runner-up in Wijk aan Zee, has won the 85th edition of Tata Steel Chess after pouncing on a blunder by Richard Rapport while Jorden van Foreest took down long-term leader Nodirbek Abdusattorov. Magnus Carlsen beat Arjun Erigaisi on demand to catch Nodirbek in a tie for 2nd place, while Wesley So finished 4th.

Nodirbek Abdusattorov led the 2023 Tata Steel Masters after every single round before the last, where he took a half-point lead into a game with White against the lowest-rated player. There was every chance he would wrap up victory with minimal fuss, but instead we got a last-round thriller.

Alexander Donchenko was a convincing winner of the Tata Steel Challengers 2023, securing his spot for the next Masters edition of the event. Donchenko scored 10 points ahead of Mustafa Yilmaz and Javokhir Sindarov who scored 9 and 8.5 points respectively.
