The rapid game in question (Giri-Kasimdzhanov) youtu.be/6cYZ7LCdF74?... was played in 2014, when Erdoğmuş was still🙃young, just having turned 3. More photos via chesspro.ru/_images/gal/... #TataSteelChess The pawn structure was revisited in Giri-Tari #Norwaychess 2023!
Our #TataSteelChess predictions have been updated after Round 10, with Nodirbek Abdusattorov remaining in the lead in the Masters and Aydin Suleymanli surpassing Andy Woodward in the Challengers!

Where did this 21.Qg7!! happen 30 years ago? #TataSteelChess #Chess
Nodirbek Abdusattorov still leads in our #TataSteelChess simulations despite his loss in Round 8, and Javokhir Sindarov is the only one close(r) behind! In the challengers, Marc'Andria Maurizzi's overall win probability decreased despite winning as others scored more unexpected wins.

Finally, after 57.Rb8 Bd6 58.Rd8 Bb4 59.Rb8 it was a draw. #TataSteelChess history would 've had been written differently had Ljubo found 59.Rd7! Bc5 (59...c2 60.Rxa7 Kb2 61.Rc7 Bc3 62.Rb7+!) 60.Rc7 Bd4 61.Rc4! Be5 62.Ke3 Neither did anyone notice later so it seems! #chess

Ulf Andersson, 50 years ago, participant Hoogovens #TataSteelchess 1976 #chess
On the free day before the last round (also the birthday of the participating Fridrik Olafsson) the players of Hoogovens #TataSteelChess 1977 played a football match against Dutch artists. It didn't break Timman's 5 wins out of 5 finishing streak! #chess

Constant Orbaan, later longtime arbiter in the Hoogoven #TataSteelChess tournaments, held the winner of the Przepiorka memorial 1957 to a spectacular draw. Geller's greedy 19..Nb3? (20.Bxg7! came) spoilt his advantage, Orbaan rushed with 22.e5?. 22.Rxc2! Kf7 23.Bxh8 Nh6 24.e5!; 23...Bb7 24.Ng5+!

Forgotten, but still active, last month Alexei Fedorov scored a lightweight combinationial win in a King's Indian that started like Rapport's spectacular win vs Pragg (vs Debayan Ray, India 2025 18...Nc3 & 24...Rxb3). Photos from Corus #TataSteelChess 2001 bsky.app/profile/tuur...
