Defending champion and world no.3 Fabiano Caruana is still seeking his breakthrough in the tournament but he will have to wait at least one more round as his endeavor against world junior champion Jeffery Xiong did not result in a victory despite his subtle novelty. Xiong maintained a low-key defense, which eventually got him into serious danger though he was never quite at the point of no-return. Caruana was finally served with a single chance to really stick it at the young(er) GM, but the sole window of opportunity passed and Xiong held fast.
Jeffery Xiong faced a tough battle, and was on the brink of losing, but held strong and showed his mental strength
Veteran Alex Shabalov has finally managed to score a point and move away from the basket of eggs he had been building. It might have gone badly for him too as he went for broke with threats of piece sacrifices, more bluff than reality.
Shabalov vs Akobian
Position after White's 26. Nxf7!? At this point it was the best move, but was still nearly winning for Black. Since White had set this up in such a way there was no turning back, the question was: what had he seen to play this with no Plan B in sight?
The problem is that Shabalov’s tactical talents are not to be underestimated, very much the source of his four US titles, and Akobian decided not to find out if he had missed something as it ended in a draw.
One can never accuse Shabalov of not being true to himself
This big game that drew eyes was in Nakamura’s very interesting opening battle against ‘always up for it’ Gata Kamsky.
Gata Kamsky was in emotional turmoil after two tough losses, but came out swinging
Nakamura showed how well prepared he was too, and had anticipated Kamsky's opening so well, that 5-6 moves after the novelty he was still playing his moves in five seconds or less!
The other two games, Shankland against Zherebukh and Naroditsky against Ray Robson ended in a draw as well. While Shankland got caught off-guard and was forced to accept a draw with white in only 15 moves, Naroditsky pulled out another opening idea by playing an early Nb3 in the Najdorf. The game got him into trouble, though not because of the opening and right when Robson seemed poised to win, he exchanged queens and drew!
Naroditsky vs Robson
White just played 29 Qf2, and was now open to the winner 29... Ne3! threatening Bxg2+ therefore 30. Bxb7 Qxb7+ 31. Qf3, and can you see the follow-up? There are two: 31... Qa7! or 31... Rc6! Try working out the various lines, as they are both instructive and fun. (Note: you can move the pieces on the diagram)
Wesley So was the only victor in the Open section in round four, and is now at 60 consecutive undefeated games, all at the highest level no less.

In the women’s section, however, the biggest shocker came as the leader and seven-times US champion, GM Irina Krush went down with white at the hands of youngster and, so far the real ‘black cat’ of top seeds, Jennifer Yu.
On the white side of a calm Schlechter Slav, Krush got the upper hand early on and many expected a one-sided victory from the highly-decorated grandmaster. However, a number of inaccurate exchanges followed by an overly ambitious handling of the early stages of the endgame left Irina with a lost position a few moves after the time control.
Incredibly, she even had a chance to claim a draw by three-fold repetition but either missed it or declined! Jennifer Yu played confidently and managed to convert her advantage into a full point resulting in a five way tie! With such a tight battle in the Women’s section, it is hard to single out any of players as possible favorites for the title. So far, nobody has managed to dominate or show any genuine superiority. The youngsters have managed great performances though a lack of experience sometimes leads a half or a full point dropped here and there.
