GM Fabiano Caruana successfully defended his title at the 2024 U.S. Chess Championship, notching a win over GM Sam Shankland in the final round to claim the $62,000 first prize and winner’s trophy. Caruana’s 7/10 performance left him with a 1.5-point buffer over six players tied for second.
As IM Carissa Yip had already confirmed victory in the women’s event, all eyes turned to the race between WGM Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova and IM Alice Lee for the second 2025 FIDE Women’s World Cup ticket. A win for Tokhirjonova over WGM Tatev Abrahamyan and Lee’s draw with Yip meant that the former secured the spot.
Action at the Saint Louis Chess Club will continue with the 2024 9LX Chess commencing on October 28. The event will feature Caruana, GM Garry Kasparov, GM Hikaru Nakamura, and more.
