Tata Steel India Rapid & Blitz 2021

The Tata Steel India Rapid & Blitz took place Wed 17th Nov to Sun 21st Nov 2021 in Kolkata, India. 6 players were to compete in both events: Aronian, Vidit, Shankland, Maghsoodloo, Liem and Adhiban but the latter was replaced by Erigaisi for the blitz. 7 players played just one of the two events, Karthikeyan, Vaishali and Praggnanandhaa in the rapid and Harika, Nihal Sarin, Gukesh and Sadhwani complete the blitz field. The event was shockingly dominated by Arjun Erigaisi who won the rapid and only lost out on winning the blitz after a draw tie-break and a loss in a final Armageddon game to Levon Aronian. Although Erigaisi did finish 3rd in the Lindores Abbey Tal Memorial blitz earlier this month.
