After two rounds of the U.S. Championships, there are five perfect scores remaining: IMs Irina Krush and Anna Zatonksih and WGM Tatev Abrahamyan in the U.S. Women's Championship and GMs Gata Kamsky and Larry Christiansen in the U.S. Championship.
The action got a running start today as the majority of the first-round battles at the 2013 U.S. Championship and U.S. Women’s Championship produced a clear victor.
The opening ceremony of the 2013 U.S. Championships determined the colors for the U.S. Championship, the round-by-round pairings for the U.S. Women’s Championship and honored some important Hall of Fame inductees.
