-PRESS RELEASE-

DRAMA TO THE FINAL MOVE: WESLEY SO AND RACHAEL LI CLAIM U.S. CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES

SAINT LOUIS (Oct. 23, 2026) — The U.S. Chess Championships delivered a wild ride from start to finish, with high drama, hard-fought battles and championship dreams on the line in both divisions. In the Open, Grandmaster (GM) Fabiano Caruana and GM Wesley So battled their way into a playoff to decide the title, with So ultimately emerging as champion and taking home $56,000 – marking So’s fourth title. The U.S. Women’s Championship was equally action-packed, as 16-year-old rookie Woman International Master (WIM) Rachael Li of Plano, Texas, made a spectacular debut, claiming her first U.S. Women’s Championship title and $45,000 in prize money.

Hosted by the Saint Louis Chess Club (STLCC), the 2026 U.S. Chess Championship events featured 24 of the top chess players who competed over the board from Oct. 9–22 for a total prize fund of more than $400,000.

♟️ THE FINAL ROUND IS HERE!

One last round to decide it all! Both Wesley So and Rachael Li enter today with a one-point lead, and a draw would be enough for either of them to clinch their respective titles.

Will the leaders get the job done today, or will we see the drama continue with playoff matches tomorrow?

Don’t miss the final round of the U.S. Chess Championships! 🏆

Round 8 photo highlights!

The last round before the rest day delivered some big results, and Monday’s matchup between Wesley So and Fabiano Caruana is one to look forward to!

Wesley beat Andy Woodward in a nice pawn endgame to take a full-point lead over Fabiano, who drew against Sam Sevian. Can Fabiano close the gap when they face each other on Monday?

In the Women’s Championship, Alice Lee and Rachael Li both drew their games and remain tied for the lead. Thalia Cervantes is right behind them, just half a point back, after checkmating top seed Carissa Yip!

Three rounds to go after the rest day. Will the leaders stay on top, or will we see a new name at the top of the standings?

Many astute observers have noted that @GMJSindarov and I are at the same hotel in Cyprus for the same dates, and they're questioning if I'm on Sindarov's World Championship Prep Team. While I'm not, I am advising him in a limited capacity about 2.Ke2. The OG prep was for an eventual WC match against Magnus, but as that won't be happening, the world deserves to have this prep in the open, so I'm sharing it. I've also heard that Magnus is sharing his 2.Ke2 prep with @DGukesh. Good Luck to Sindarov and Gukesh, may the best 2.Ke2 win!

♟️ Tactics alert! White to play and wins.

Abhimanyu Mishra dominated the game against Sam Sevian, but the fortress idea kept making things tricky. After 107 moves, he finally secured the win!

Can you find the winning sequence in this position?
