Editing Tata Steel Chess Tournament (section)

== Tournament history ==

===Hoogovens Beverwijk===
The early tournaments were very small, starting with groups of four in 1938, and entry restricted to Dutch players. The first four tournaments continued this way, until 1942, when it was expanded to six players, and in 1943 to eight players. No tournament was held in 1945 due to [[World War II]].{{explain|date=May 2025}} The first international tournament was held in 1946, with the field expanded to ten, and invitations to [[Alberic O'Kelly de Galway]] (Belgium) and [[Gösta Stoltz]] (Sweden) along with a Dutch contingent of eight.<ref name="History"/>

The 1946 tournament was one of the first European international chess tournaments after World War II. Food shortages were still a problem in Europe, so the post-tournament banquet featured [[pea soup]], "inexpensive fare of the common people". In subsequent years pea soup has been served as the first course of the concluding banquet, a tradition continued when the tournament was moved from Beverwijk to Wijk aan Zee.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Damsky|first1=Yakov|last2=Sugden|first2=John|date=25 August 2005 |title=The Batsford Book of Chess Records |publisher=[[Batsford Books]]|isbn=0-7134-8946-4|p=164 }}</ref>

The tournament field was increased to twelve in 1953, and an international women's tournament was also held. In 1954, the tournament field was returned to ten players, but the strength of the competitions increased. The field was greatly enlarged to 18 in 1963, and although it reduced to 16 in 1964, the event had become the strongest international chess tournament in the world.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Golombek |first=Harry |author-link=Harry Golombek |year=1977 |title=Golombek's Encyclopedia of Chess |publisher=[[Crown Publishers]] |isbn=0-517-53146-1|p=143}}</ref>

As the tournament grew in stature, it began to offer lower groups such as a B-group (sometimes called "Challengers" in contrast to group-A or "Masters"), and occasionally a C-group. There also began a tradition to operate a year on year policy of inviting the winner of the B-group to the A-group.<ref name="History"/><ref name="Winners"/>
