Blitz – Rondas 10 a 18
La séptima edición del torneo Tata Steel Chess India se celebra en Calcuta del 7 al 11 de enero, con el ya conocido formato de rápidas y blitz. Como en ediciones recientes, el torneo consta de una sección Abierta y una Femenina, cada una con diez participantes. Ambas competiciones se disputan en torneos separados de rápidas y blitz, con dos campeones distintos en lugar de un vencedor general combinado.
Los torneos de rápidas se juegan del 7 al 9 de enero, con tres rondas diarias. Las secciones de blitz se disputan los días 10 y 11 de enero, con nueve rondas por día. La estructura es similar a la utilizada en algunos torneos del Grand Chess Tour, aunque en Calcuta los puntos de rápidas y blitz no se suman.
Los controles de tiempo son los siguientes:
Rápidas: 15 minutos por partida con incrementos de 10 segundos por jugada
Blitz: 3 minutos por partida con incremento de 2 segundos por jugada

The Elephant Gambit (1.e4.e5 2.Nf3 d5!?) has never really been given the attention it deserves. It is a very useful surprise weapon. Let us list the advantages of playing this particular opening: 1) Shock value 2) It is very aggressive. Black can take over the initiative early. 3) Many tricky lines 4) Unorthodox. Black is basically taking the game to the opponent as early as move two. Not many openings do that! It's a perfect opening for young players and club players to adopt. Let Andrew Martin select a repertoire for you on this 60 mins, which, if used with discretion, will rack up the points. I am sure that you will enjoy this unusual tour of the Elephant Gambit.
