The 2022 U.S. Chess Championship and the US Women’s Chess Championship 2022 are concurrently held from 5-20 October in 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. The U.S. Women’s title is decided in an identical format with a $40,000 first prize, with GM Irina Krush, IM Anna Zatonskih and FM Ashritha Eswaran being the top seeds.
Drawing their games, Hans Niemann and Samuel Sevian kept the co-lead after two played rounds, but the 15-year-old Christopher Yoo stole the show as he defeated the US defending champion Wesley So. See the Round 2 report
