U.S. Championship 2013

The 2013 U.S. Championship is the most prestigious event in the United States. It starts May the 2nd with the Opening ceremony. Play starts May the 3rd, at 2pm EDT.



To celebrate the 5th annyversary of the U.S. Championship played at the S. Louis Chess Club and Scholastic Center, the organizers have set up a 24-players 9 Rounds Swiss Tournament. 

Reigning Champion Hikaru Nakamura is not participating this year, but we will see several very strong players battling for the Title in S. Louis. And among those, some of the ICC commentators! Varuzhan Akobian, Joel Benjamin, Larry Christiansen, Gregory Kaidanov, Ben Finegold. To all of them our best wishes for a great tournament.

ICC will follow the Championship relaying all the boards, Highlights VIDEO Service and with Radio Broadcast for the last three Rounds.



 

Congratulations to the 2013 U.S. Champion: GM Gata Kamsky!
