KOLKATA: India's top two women players will be seen in action as Tata Steel Chess India returns to the city for the fourth time from November 29 to December 4.
The inaugural women's edition of the tournament has a strong field of 11 players including India No. 1 Koneru Humpy (Elo 2574) and No. 2 Harika Dronavalli (Elo 2507) along with the famous Muzychuk sisters – Anna and Mariya from Ukraine. Both the sisters were part of the gold-medal winning Ukrainian team at the Chess Olympiad earlier this year. Humpy will get a chance to exert revenge on Anna after she crashed out of the 2022-23 Women's Candidates meet by losing to the Ukrainian No. 2 player in the quarterfinal tie-breaks.
