US Chess Championship was held in San Diego on 1st-12th March. After preliminary tournament with two groups of 32 players each, Alexander Onischuk and Yuri Shulman (on tiebreaks) have qualified for the final match. Best placed womens were WGM Anna Zatonskih and WGM Rusadan Goletiani to also qualify for the final match. I have to add that many participants, including Gata Kamsky, have complained about the tournament regulations (groups, rapid games, pieces colors, tiebreaks...).
Results:
Alexander Onischuk - Yuri Shulman 1.5-0.5
Anna Zatonskih - Rusudan Goletiani 1.5-0.5
Yuri Shulman 2581 - Alexander Onischuk 2650
