U.S. Chess Championships 2024: Official Discussion Thread

Hans will need to win his 2 remaining games to have a chance of winning 1st, 1.5 won't do it. Even if Hans finished with 6.5 then Fabi would still win 1st by scoring 2 points out of his remaining 3 games.
Just having a good streak. She also did great at the olympiad that just finished.
