Chess competition

Editor’s note: Why a separate Women’s division?

“At the 2025 U.S. Women’s Chess Championship, IM Alice Lee increased the gap with her closest rivals to a full point as she beat IM Tatev Abrahamyan, while IMs Anna Zatonskih and Anna Sargsyan drew their games with FM Rose Atwell and WGM Atousa Pourkashiyan, respectively. 

The eighth round of the U.S. Championships starts on Wednesday, October 22, at 1:30 p.m.“
