In the seventh round of the 2024 U.S. Chess Championships, GM Awonder Liang moved to 4/6 and reduced GM Fabiano Caruana’s lead to half a point after toppling GM Grigoriy Oparin with the black pieces. GM Ray Robson is on a rollercoaster ride he can’t seem to get off—the Puzzle Rush world champion beat GM Hans Niemann in his sixth decisive game in a row.
IM Carissa Yip may not hold chess‘ second most prestigious FIDE title for long as she won to move to 7/7, this time defeating IM Nazi Paikidze. Sitting on 5/7, which would normally be a leading score, is WGM Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova, who defeated FM Rose Atwell. Wins by WGM Thalia Cervantes, FM Megan Lee, and WGM Jennifer Yu were all relevant in the battle for second place.
The eighth round of the U.S. Championships will start on October 19 at 2 p.m. ET/20:00 CEST/11:30 p.m. IST.
