Tata Steel Challengers
Erigaisi Arjun vs. Van Foreest, Lucas
The 2022 Tata Steel Challengers is taking place from 15-30 January in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands. The 14-player single round-robin offers the winner an automatic place in the 2023 Tata Steel Masters.
The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from move 1. If there is a tie for first place all tied players play a blitz (3+2) playoff and, if only two players remain tied, a 2-game mini-match will be played and if still tied, they play "Sudden Death" games where White gets 2.5 minutes and Black 3 minutes.
