The US Chess Championship 2022 is taking place from 5-20 October at the Saint Louis Chess Club. Fourteen of the country’s strongest chess players battle for the national title and $60,000 in a classical round-robin event with Fabiano Caruana, Levon Aronian and Wesley So headlining the field which includes Hans Niemann as the 8th seed.
Fabiano Caruana heads into the last round of the tournament as the sole leader, with Ray Robson trailing by half a point. Caruana will have white pieces against Levon Aronian in the final 13th round and can secure his second US Chess Champion title with a victory. However, if the game finishes in a draw and if Ray Robson wins his R13 game against Jeffery Xiong, the winner of the event will be determined in the playoff match tomorrow. Follow the game live:
