The Tata Steel Chess Tournament is one of the most prestigious chess tournaments in the world. Often called the "Wimbledon of Chess", it attracts many of the world's top grandmasters and promising young talents. It's sponsored by Tata Steel, one of the world’s leading steel producers and a key part of the Tata Group, India's largest multinational conglomerate. So it's only fitting that this is the first tournament where we see the newly crowned World Champion from India, Gukesh Dommaraju play in. Gukesh is currently in sole lead after eleven rounds followed by Abdusattorov who is considered by many as his rival. Aside from Gukesh, four other Indian top grandmasters are playing like Praggnanandhaa (2741) and Erigaisi (2801).

I watched Gukesh's awesome game against Max Warmerdam in round 10. His opponent made one crucial mistake and Gukesh won with a beautiful tactic.

White made a mistake with 28. Rc1 (correct was 28. Nc3 denying Black's Knight the e4 square). After 28...Ne4 Black can't take with Rxc8 which will be met with Nxd2+ winning the exchange. At the same time Black is threatening Nxg3 since White's pawn on f2 is pinned.

The game continued 29. Qd1 Qb8 (Not 29....Nxg3 Kg2 loses material). 30. Kg1 Nxg3

Recapturing with 31. fxg3 Qxg3+ Kh1 Qxe3 just loses another pawn for white. The game continued with 31. Nc5 Nf5 32. Qg4 Qe8 33. Nbd3 Nc6 34. Nf4 Bxd4 and White resigned. Being two pawns down against the World Champion on top form is hopeless.
