The Corus Chess Tournament 2009 was the 71st edition of the Corus Chess Tournament, later known as the Tata Steel Chess Tournament.[1] It was held in Wijk aan Zee from 17 January to 1 February 2009.
The tournament was won by Sergey Karjakin.[2] Karjakin entered the final round as one of six players in the joint lead, but was the only one to claim victory, defeating Leinier Domínguez to emerge sole winner.[3]
Fabiano Caruana won the B section, having won the C section in 2008. Caruana was half a point behind Nigel Short, his final opponent, going into the last round. Caruana was outplayed, but Short missed two clear wins, and then a draw, handing the victory to his teenage opponent.[4]
