The 81st Tata Steel Chess tournament took place Saturday 12th (Round 1) to Sunday 27th January 2019. Players masters section: Carlsen, Mamedyarov, Ding Liren, Giri, Kramnik, Anand, Nepomniachtchi, Radjabov, Duda, Shankland, Fedoseev, Vidit and Jorden van Foreest. Magnus Carlsen won the tournament for the seventh time and finished half a point clear of his final round opponent Anish Giri with whom he drew.

Seventh Tata Steel Masters title for Magnus Carlsen (13)

Magnus Carlsen won his seventh Tata Steel Masters tournament after a comfortable draw against Anish Giri with the black pieces. Carlsen's domination in Wijk aan Zee is similar to that of Kasparov's in Linares (where Garry won 9 titles). Carlsen also has won the C Group in 2004, 2nd in the B group only on tie-break in 2006 and came in joint last place on his debut in the top group in 2007.

Today Giri took on Carlsen's Sveshnikov but didn't really get anywhere, he gave up the exchange but this didn't help matters and Carlsen rather than try and exploit this advantage quickly steered things to the draw he needed.

There were just two winners on the final day. Richard Rapport took advantage of a poor opening to beat Jorden van Foreest in 21 moves. The final game to finish was a baffling struggle between Vladimir Kramnik and Sam Shankland, Kramnik got a big advantage out of the opening but 16.Na5? (16.d4! was good, but less so when played the following move) left the game equal. Kramnik was then much worse after 19.d5 until 30. Nd6? (30...Bxc4!) when the position was equal again. Finally Shankland gave up a piece for three pawns, Kramnik then turned down an easy draw (50.Bxa6) to enter a difficult endgame with no upside which he proceeded to lose. I don't think Kramnik can be enjoying this chess very much.

Nepomniachtchi-Radjabov, Duda-Ding, Anand-Vidit and Mamedyarov-Fedoseev were all reasonably quiet draws.

Vladislav Kovalev won the Challengers and will play the Masters next year.

Final Standings (Rk Name Pts Tie break): 1 Carlsen 9.0 55.5 2 Giri 8.5 51.5 3 Nepomniachtchi 7.5 48.75 4 Ding 7.5 47.25 5 Anand 7.5 44.25 6 Vidit 7.0 42 7 Radjabov 6.5 43.25 8 Shankland 6.5 40 9 Rapport 6.5 38.5 10 Duda 5.5 33.25 11 Fedoseev 5.0 34.25 12 Mamedyarov 5.0 31.25 13 Van Foreest 4.5 28 14 Kramnik 4.5 26.75
