Indian chess grandmasters Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa and Viswanathan Anand look on during the draw ceremony for the upcoming Tata Steel Chess India tournament in Kolkata, India, on January 6, 2026. The headline narrative of the 2026 edition is the return of Viswanathan Anand to competitive action in Kolkata after a six-year gap. Five-time world champion and the architect of India's modern chess boom, Anand's presence is far more than ceremonial. Even at 56, his speed-chess credentials remain formidable, and his participation creates a symbolic bridge between generations. Facing him is a formidable Indian contingent led by Arjun Erigaisi and R Praggnanandhaa--players who represent the present and future of the sport. For Indian fans, the sight of Anand sharing the board with players he once mentors underlines just how rapidly the country's chess ecosystem matures. The women's section continues Tata Steel Chess India's commitment to parity and depth. With defending champions Aleksandra Goryachkina and Kateryna Lagno returning, and a strong Indian presence led by Divya Deshmukh and R. Vaishali, the competition promises to be fiercely contested. Equal prize money and identical formats underline the tournament's progressive structure and its role in strengthening women's chess in India.
