2022 US Chess Championship Day 10 Results, Score, Winners, Standings, & Round 11 Schedule

At least in the Open division, competitors in round 10 of the US Championship gave in to the seductive song of the rest day. Six of the games saw no player gain a large edge at any time, with Aronian vs. So producing the quickest and most predictable tie. Christopher Yoo, a 15-year-old who chose to play a cautious endgame after losing two straight games, had nothing on leader Fabiano Caruana. Sam Sevian kept Ray Robson, who finished in second place, to a draw after a brief moment of intrigue. Liang vs. Dominguez and Xiong vs. Shankland also concluded in very low-key draws, but Lenderman vs. Swiercz may have been the most challenging match to terminate without a fight.

However, Hans Niemann squeezed out a win against bottom-placed Moradiabadi Elshan to finish the day as only player to win among seven matches of open division. Following his win, Niemann snapped his eight-match winless run in US Championship and moved to 4.5/10 points that saw him level with reigning champion Wesley So.

Thalia Cervantes defeated Megan Lee during Round 10 matches of women’s division to earn her third straight victory while jeopardizing her rival’s prospects of winning the crown. Meanwhile, Gulrukhbegim Tokhirjonova gave it her all to defeat Ashritha Eswaran and win her second straight game. As of the conclusion of Round 10 matches, Jennifer Yu continues to hold the sole advantage with 7/10 points, followed closely by Irina Krush with 6.5/10 points.
