Tata Steel Chess 2020 - Round 2 - Chessbase News

Tata Steel Chess 2020 brings the world's best players together ambitious young talents. The raking list of the Masters is topped by the number one and number two in the world rankings, Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Anish Giri and Wesley So. As luck would have it, the first round pairings pits Carlsen against Giri and Caruana against So.

The Challengers group also sees young players compete in an interesting field along with experienced grandmasters. Among the tournament veterans are Pavel Eljanov, Surya Ganguly and Erwin l'Ami. The young crew includes three talented fifteen-year-olds: Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Nihal Sarin and Vincent Keymer. 

Players receive 100 minutes for 40 moves followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game plus 30 seconds per move starting from move one.
