Two noteworthy U.S. events recently finished, the St. Louis Invitational and the Philadelphia Open. The former ended in a three-way tie for first with GM Elshan Moradiabadi and IMs Marc Arnold and Darwin Yang tying for first with 6-3 scores. That was a round robin; the Philadelphia Open was an Open Swiss won by Magesh Panchanathan with a 7-2 score, half a point better than Varuzhan Akobian, Sergey Erenburg, Jon Ludvig Hammer, Sam Shankland, Alexander Stripunsky, Axel Bachmann and Mikheil Kekelidze.
A miniature from the latter event can be replayed here.
