Wesley So wins his 3rd US Chess Championship

Wesley So beat Fabiano Caruana and Sam Sevian in rapid playoffs to win the 2021 US Chess Championship, becoming the first player to defend the title since Gata Kamsky in 2014. “I think Fabi should have won today considering how well he played,” said Wesley, but despite getting into a close to lost position against Fabiano he hit back and won on time in an already winning position. Caruana went on to beat Sevian, but Wesley cruised to victory against Sam to clinch the title.
