Five leaders were whittled down to one in the fourth round of the 2024 U.S. Championship as GM Fabiano Caruana defeated GM Abhimanyu Mishra and moved to 3/4. GM Ray Robson scored the only other decisive result of the round, thwarting a dubious pawn sacrifice by GM Awonder Liang in the Sicilian Defense, Najdorf Variation.
IM Carissa Yip continues to dominate the women’s event, putting GM Irina Krush to the sword to move to 4/4. Wins to WGM Thalia Cervantes, FM Megan Lee, and IM Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova leave Yip with a one point lead.
Following a rest day on Tuesday, the fifth round of the U.S. Championships will start on October 16 at 2 p.m. ET/20:00 CEST/11:30 p.m. IST.
