In 2023, the Tata Steel Chess tournament celebrates its 85th edition. Hundreds of amateur chess players come to Wijk aan Zee and play in the same hall as the elite grandmasters. This beautiful hardcover full-colour book tells the stories of the winners, the amateurs and their favourite restaurants. Dozens of pictures highlight how photogenic the event is. And, of course, the book includes magnificent chess games annotated by the winners. Wijk aan Zee and the Tata Chess Tournament bring out the best in chess.
