2020 US Chess Championship
Wesley So won convincingly his second US Champion title.
This was played as a rapid chess ( 25 minutes + 5 seconds) online but still gives him the 2020 US Chess Champion title. While Nakamura participated, Fabiano Caruana wasn't part of the tournament as he was supposed to be in the World Chess Candidates tournament -postponed to 2010-
Lets replay a critical game : So-Xiong
Wesley So won that game and Jeffery Xiong finished 2nd in the tournament. This also showcases Wesley's style, very solid, few mistakes and converting small edges.
