Round 11

Two concurrent twelve-player round robin events will determine the new chess champions of the United States. The open section has a stellar line-up, with five 2700+ players for the first time in the national tournament.

The prize fund is USD $194,000 in the open section, with $50,000 for first place, and $100,000 in the women's category, with $25,000 in stock for the winner. Also, the "$64,000 Fischer Bonus Prize" continues to be in offer, for any player that replicates Fischer's 11-0 sweep achieved at the 1963/64 U.S. Championship.

Round 10: Jennifer Yu takes the title with a round to spare
