The 87th Tata Steel tournament takes place 17th January to 2nd February 2025.

World Chess Champion Gukesh Dommaraju plays his first chess since beating Ding Liren for the title. World number two Fabiano Caruana is the top rated played followed by number four Erigaisi Arjun, five Gukesh, six Nodirbek Abdusattorov and number 9 and defending champion Wei Yei. Also playing (in no particular order) Pentala Harikrishna (a last minute replacement for Santosh Vidit), Praggnanandhaa, Leon Luke Mendonca, Vincent Keymer, Max Warmerdam, Alexey Sarana, Jorden van Foreest, Vladimir Fedoseev and last but definitely not least Anish Giri.

The Challengers is yet again an interesting mix of players and strengths: Thai Dai van Nguyen is the top seed. Divya Deshmukh, Nodirbek Yakubboev, Arthur Pijpers, Aydin Suleymanli, Benjamin Bok, Ediz Gurel, Irina Bulmaga, Erwin l'Ami, Frederik Svane, Faustino Oro, Rameshbabu Vaishali, Miaoyi Lu and Kazybek Nogerbek.

I will have daily reports and live coverage. Play starts at 2pm local time, 1pm GMT. There will be a 15 minute delay for all broadcasts.
