This year continues to be one like no other.
An online U.S. Chess Championship with a rapid time control of G/25 + 5 was something none of us could have guessed would be the norm just one year ago. Nonetheless, this is where we find ourselves as 2020 comes to a close.
The Championship was played in round robin format and included twelve of the strongest chess players in the United States. Games were exciting and interesting despite--or on account of depending on your perspective--the faster time control.
