U.S. Championships: Yoo upsets So

The two players who kicked off the U.S. Championship with losses bounced back immediately by winning their round-2 games in Saint Louis. Elshan Moradiabadi defeated Awonder Liang, while Christopher Yoo got the biggest win of his young career as he took down Wesley So with the black pieces. Meanwhile, in the women’s event, three players still have a perfect score — Jennifer Yu, Alice Lee and Megan Lee. | Photo: Lennart Ootes
