The U.S. Women's Championship ran concurrently with the Open Championship, but as the former finished in a tie between 15-year-old Annie Wang and 2016 champion Nazi Paikidze, the event carried over to a playoff today.
The latest issue of Chess Informant, covering the period from the end of November 2017 through the beginning of March 2018, looks like a good one, and a step back in the right direction after a disappointing 134th issue.
Championship players: Fabiano Caruana, Hikaru Nakamura, Wesley So, Alex Onischuk, Ray Robson, Sam Shankland, Varuzhan Akobian, Jeffery Xiong, Alex Lenderman, Awonder Liang, Yaroslav Zherebukh and Zviad Izoria.

Quite the surprise, but Sam Shankland definitely earned it! He scored +6, went undefeated, won four games with Black, won his last three games, gained 30 rating points, surpassed the 2700 barrier (becoming the 7th player from the U.S.A. to do so)...
It was a big day for Chess Lord Bert.

Fabiano Caruana is having an excellent U.S. Championship. Despite having played practically non-stop for a month and a half, he is continuing to play at a very high level. His score of 7/10 has increased his already lofty rating...
Warriors return to their fun habits at Pelicans expense, have a Swaggy starter, unleash their depth, and enjoy the Rondo-Green chess match
The man is the world chess champion for a reason. More than one reason, even if we construe those reasons broadly. One reason is that (most of the time) he plays the best chess, and the other is that (most of the time) he's the best player in clutch situations.
Anker is no stranger to wireless audio, they are known for producing high-quality budget earbuds. So what’s so special about their new Vortex wireless headphones? Anker’s Soundcore Vortex headphones are the first ever over-the-ear headphones produced by Anker.

Sam Shankland entered the day in first, and exited in a tie for first. He had White against Wesley So, who was only half a point behind, and the game finished in a well-played draw. Perhaps it was more well-played by So...
