The Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2024 was the 86th edition of the annual chess tournament held in Wijk aan Zee from 13–28 January 2024.^[1] The competition followed a similar format to the previous year's edition, taking place at the Dorpshuis De Moriaan in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, while round 9 of the Masters section was played at the AFAS Circustheater in The Hague, Netherlands as part of the competition's "Chess on Tour" event.^[2]

The Masters section was won by China's Wei Yi, who defeated India's Gukesh Dommaraju by a score of 1.5–0.5 in the finals of a four-player knockout tournament tiebreak.^[3] ^[4] India's Leon Luke Mendonca won the Challengers' section, earning a spot in the 2025 Tata Steel Masters event.^[5] Both the Masters and Challengers sections were eligible for the 2024 FIDE Circuit.

The event witnessed a four-way tie for first place for the first time since 1989, between the defending champion Anish Giri, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Gukesh Dommaraju and eventual champion Wei Yi.^[6]

Organization

The tournament was a fourteen-player, single round-robin tournament, meaning there are 13 rounds with each player facing the others once.

The field of 14 players in the Masters section included the defending champion Anish Giri,^[7] and both the defending World Chess Champion and Women's World Chess Champion, Ding Liren and Ju Wenjun, with Ding playing his first international event since May 2023 after taking a hiatus from professional chess due to illness.^[8] Notably, world number one and former World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen did not play at the event for the first time since 2014; Tournament Director Jeroen van den Berg said that Carlsen's absence was due to "scheduling conflicts".^[9]

Regulations

The time control was 100 minutes for the first 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for all remaining moves, plus a 30 second increment per move from move 1. Players got 1 point for a win, ½ point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

Tiebreaks for the first place were addressed as follows:^[10]

Players would play two blitz chess games at 3 minutes plus 2 seconds per move. If a three or five-way tie had occurred, a single round-robin would be played. As four players were tied, a single elimination tournament was played.
Two players still tied for first after the blitz chess games would play a "sudden death" game with white receiving 2½ minutes while black receives 3 minutes plus both players would gain 2 seconds per move. A drawing of lots determined which player had white. If the game had been drawn, the players would have switched colors and played again with that colour for the next two games, and then repeated this process until a decisive result was obtained.
