High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Tata Steel Chess Tournament, formerly called the Corus chess tournament, takes place every year, usually in January, in a small town called Wijk aan Zee, part of the larger Beverwijk in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. It was called the Hoogovens tournament until 1999 after which the Dutch steel and aluminium producer Koninklijke Hoogovens merged with British Steel to form the Corus Group on 6 October 1999 ("hoogoven" is Dutch for "blast furnace", literally "high oven"). From 1938 to 1967, the tournament took place in Beverwijk. Since the purchase of Corus by Tata Steel, the tournament is now called the Tata Steel Chess Tournament. The series has continued to be numbered sequentially from its beginnings and hence, the 2011 event was referred to as the 73rd Tata Steel Chess Tournament on the official website.
