For those interested in watching some games online, the US Chess Championship is now in the 3rd round with a live feed available here:
http://www.uschesschamps.com/2015-us-ch ... ation/live
The highest rated players in the tournament are Hikaru Nakamura and Wesley So, at this time live rated at #2 and #5 in the world. These two players are paired together tomorrow for anyone wanting to watch that game. Yesterday's games featured some good play and a few blunders as well. Good to see that GMs make one move blunders, too. Also, an actual checkmate was delivered in the Sharevich v Nemcova game, don't see that happen too often!
Live GM commentary is provided as well. Next round starts today at 1 PM local time here in St Louis, MO, USA.

I'm a bit curious about how Mr. Kamsky is going to play. After all, he is a former prodigy, but now a business economist or something similar and has a hundred elo-points less than his opponent, Mr. Nakamura. We will see.
