Yeah, I've been saying this for a long time. The official website of tournaments is typically absolutely AWFUL. It will lack a lot of basic information, and the basic information it does have is hidden in 100 tiny menus.
The main page says:
"Fans can watch the daily rounds at 1:20pm online at uschesschamps.com."
As if all chess fans are in the same time zone... completely ridiculous. 1:20pm means nothing... sure I can assume it's US central time zone, because that's where St Louis is, but I had to google that... why should I have to visit multiple sites and google what time zone St Louis is in for the absolute basic information?
Anyway...
Chessbomb is a good place to go for standings and games:
https://nxt.chessbomb.com/events/2022-us-chess-championship
Chess2700 is a good place to go to look at how a single player has been doing (click the magnifying glass to the right of a player's name), and also see upcoming tournaments (scroll to the bottom of the page)

I'm not sure who we blame, I know it ain't Rex. I'm sure he's hired someone to handle all of it. Whoever that person is should get a stern talking to. Maybe even a time out... in the corner.

I'm guessing school / university commitments.

Cannot find the simplest information and the coverage on YouTube is excessively chatty and irrelevant.

Wow, it's actually pretty good.
Good job chess24.
Oh yeah, I watch chess24 all the time for big tournaments. All the info is on 1 page.
Try to keep up chess.com. Erik, do u need us to weed out all the dead weight getting free paychecks? Because we, ur sites faithful members, can get right on that job.

Yeah, chess24's presentation is infinitely better than chess.com's. Now if they only had Dark Mode and weren't about to be subsumed by the chess.com monopoly tsunami...oh, well. All good things...

Their chess interfaces on desktop/laptop are terrible. The android light blueish themes are mediocre.
Fair enough but the discussion is about watching, not playing.

Then, it doesn't get any better when you have a French guy, can't understand one word in English he is trying to say with that accent, and a bald Brit who makes lame jokes in an attempt to justify having him alongside Svidler. The piercing shrill of Tania Sachdev drives me away when the Meltwater events occur. I feel deeply sorry for Svidler and Leko. They have to put up with this because they know they are the only reasons why someone might tune in for 10 seconds before the others speak abomination. It is like when you have a nobody director of a TV movie and they hire a 5 time Oscar winner to get an audience.
I haven't seen the group you're talking about, but maybe it's worth mentioning that even in professional sports it's standard to have 1 expert commentator, and 1 "color" commentator. The expert gives technical detail that's interesting to hard core fans, while the "color" commentator is supposed to be appealing to people who don't know much about the game... so they do things like make jokes or tell stories.
So even though I haven't seen the group, I imagine pairing someone like Svider with a master level female player with a low cut shirt and makeup would be pretty standard.
Not to sound dismissive to someone like Jennifer Shahade. She's actually pretty cool, doing poker and other stuff... but to some random person tuning in, they'll probably want a young female to look at... that's how filthy humans are

It also took me some time to find the Magnus Carlsen vs Hans Niemann game with all the notations. Mostly found some YouTube videos, so definitely frustrating for sure.

She mentioned in a podcast that she didn't want to take so much time off at the start of her freshman year at Stanford. She will continue to study and play in some shorter tournaments, but she said that she will focus on school during the school year and on chess during summers.

Hi!
You find a lot comfortable information on Youtube without a complete game analysis. Starchess for example does only short highlight videos and informs about the standings and pairings:

Current round 10 of US Chess Championships:
