The US Chess Championship

The Big Three (Caruana, Nakamura, and So) will face 9 other top Americans in a round robin. Last week, Akobian defeated e4stat at the St. Louis Chess Club's Saturday Night Special. And in January, Liang won the Jane Addams Memorial with a perfect 4.0/4. E4stat also played in that tournament and started with 2.0/2, but could not keep up; I finished with 2.5/4.
