So vs Caruana has finished in a draw. So's attempt at finding an advantage in the Petroff was swiftly rejected by the young Challenger #USChessChamps
Lenderman's tournament has completely turned around after his crushing loss to Caruana - he's now a dark horse to win the whole event since his last three games aren't the toughest #USChessChamps
The big clash in the Women's section is Wang vs Krush. The result of this one will likely be critical towards the final standings #USChessChamps
