The Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2011 was the 73rd edition of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament.[1] Known until 2010 as the Corus Chess Tournament, it was renamed after Tata Steel, which purchased the Corus Group. It was held in Wijk aan Zee from 15 to 30 January 2011.
The tournament was won by Hikaru Nakamura, his first win in a super-tournament, and the best result by an American chess player since the days of Bobby Fischer.[1][2][3]
