US Juniors and Seniors: Lee, Guo and Khachiyan sole leaders

by Klaus Besenthal
7/23/2023 – In the seventh round of the US Junior Championship played on Saturday, Arthur Guo (pictured) defeated Andrew Hong, who entered the round tied with him in first place. Since Abhimanyu Mishra, the third member of the former leading trio, had to settle for a draw against Justin Wang, Guo became the sole leader with two rounds to go.

After the draw against 2021 US Senior Champion Gregory Kaidanov, Melikset Khachiyan’s lead has shrunk to 1½ points. But with only two rounds left to go, Khachiyan’s lead is still very comfortable.

2023 US Junior Championship

Arthur Guo’s game against Andrew Hong demonstrated once again that good preparation can win half the battle in a given game. And if this preparation includes a relevant novelty, perhaps even connected with a special idea, then even small inaccuracies do no harm later in the game — if the idea turns out to be viable.
