Does anyone find it a little weird that the open section boards are labeled {last name, first name} and in the women’s section they are labeled {first name last name}? Come on, that’s weird.

This tournament is the U.S. championship, so only U.S. residents are in it.

Do you have a photo to show? I checked, and I can't see any images with the names at the table. The video coverage is showing names with first name first, last name last. Sometimes I will think the first name is the top (black) and the second name is the bottom (white). I think that is just how that graphic layout is though.

Sorry for being unclear, my friend. I meant here on chess.com, when one displays all of the games from the current round.

I want Jennifer Yu to win!

Yip is now 7 - 0.

Hans lost a game he shouldn't have lost.

Is Carissa so much stronger than anyone else? Or are the others nervous?
