The American Cup is an 8-player double elimination knockout taking place from 17-26 March in the St. Louis Chess Club. The matches will be played over two classical (90min + 30s increment) games in the Champions and two rapid (25+10) games in the Elimination bracket. If tied, rapid (10+5) playoffs are held and, if still tied, an Armageddon game (5 vs 4 minutes, with draw odds for Black).
In the end the winner of the Champions bracket will face the winner of the Elimination bracket. If the Champions bracket winner loses, a second match is played. Official website:

Feels like a boring move but actually the winning move.. poor black king
These two are complete animals
How can I get more profitable investment in the market? Is this pump shorts getting wrecked and liquidated, or any indication of whale, corporate treasury buys?
So brilliant!
Wesely and wesely lovers❤❤
This isn't a Guioco Piano as you mentioned, it's just the Italian
And it was in this position, on move 42 that Sam Shankland understood he needs to level up his chess with Wesley So's genius play
Hello everyone!
First here! What an achievement! 😀
wow
A Sam Shankland game that isn't a draw?!
First
Haha that nice ‘Joker Piano’ opening according to the subs
so sad agadmator still puts the winner in the title..
Why isn't the title like 'Wesley So's queen dominates Sam Shankland's back rank' ? I think describing the game better incentivises people to watch. But of course you’d spoil pause the video.
Anyhoo, the title is 'Level Up Your Chess with Wesley So's Genius Play'. You can also 'Level Up Your Chess960 with Wesley So's TALENTED Play. Remember
1 – Chess = great = a combination of theory & talent
2 – Chess960 = pure talent
3 – Wesley So is still the world (classical) chess960 champion since 45+15 = 60 but 32.5 is rapid (25+5+5/2 = 32.5 is actually fast rapid, not even slow rapid).
And now for games:
Games 1 and 2 – Wesley So vs Sam Shankland – both games in Armageddon 2023 finals #suggestion
Game 3 – Leinier vs Sam Shankland – Sam sacrifices rook in Armageddon 2023 semi-finals of lower bracket #suggestion
Game 4 – Philippine women's chess #suggestion – WGM Janelle Frayna, the female Wesley So, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bela Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz.
There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here.
[Variant "From Position"]
[FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"]
1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Qc8+ Kd6 9. e5+ Qxe5 10. d8=R+ Bxd8 11. Qxd8+ Kc6 12. Qa8+ Kb5 13. Qxa2
For some reason none of the Philippine channels except Kelvinllovejr even cover this game. LOL. But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on.
P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See

Time to resign when you know nothing else can be done nice offensive attack by white getting his Queen in good position putting all the pressure on Blacks king with no countermoves to be made Thanks for the Game and Breakdown of play
Dude…you’re incredible at what you do. You make it look easy!
🔥🔥🔥
The combinations GM So creates are such masterpieces! Phenomenal play by Wesley, America's future hope for a 2nd world champion. His strides are unlimited. Bravo Wes!!! Also a very fine post ~
