KOLKATA: The fourth edition of the Tata Steel Chess India is likely to see a battle of the next generation with some of the world’s best rising talent crossing swords over the next six days at the Bhasha Bhawan in the National Library of India campus.
Indian youngsters D Gukesh, Arjun Erigaisi, Nihal Sarin and R Praggnanandhaa will have their task cut out against reigning world rapid champion Nodirbek Abdusattorov of Uzbekistan and Iran’s former world junior champion Parham Maghsoodloo.
