A week after winning his fourth U.S. title, GM Fabiano Caruana also won the 2024 Chess 9LX tournament in St. Louis. With 7.5/9 he remained half a point ahead of GM Hikaru Nakamura. Caruana won $30,000 and another $7,500 for finishing in sole first place.
At 61, „chess tourist“ GM Garry Kasparov held is own wonderfully in a field of professional players by finishing on a 50 percent score. It could have been even better as according to Kasparov himself, he missed wins against both GM Levon Aronian and the tournament winner.
