Carissa’s 4.5/6 for the tournament now gives her a half-point lead over Annie and the rest of the field going into  tomorrow’s final rounds. .

It was an eventful first day of the 2020 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship as #2 seed IM Annie Wang scored 2.5/3 points to grab the early lead in the 10-player rapid (25+5) round-robin. Tied for second and third place with 2.0/3 are top seed IM Carissa Yip and WIM Thalia Cervantes, but with six more rounds to go everything can still change in this national title event.
