U.S. Championship - Final |
|
Written by Bryan Smith

Congratulations to GM Alexander Shabalov, who is the 2007 U.S. Champion! After his incredible 5-0 start, Shabba lost to GM Alexander Onischuk, and after he drew two more games Onischuk had caught up, but in the final round Shabalov defeated GM Sergey Kudrin, while Onischuk could only draw against GM Boris Gulko. Thus Shabalov's score of 7-2 gave him clear first. Next was Onischuk with 6.5-2.5, who got clear second.
This was Shabalov's 4th U.S. championship. Apparently modest, he credits his success to an amulet he was wearing, which is supposed to stabilize its wearer's magnetic field, making him more relaxed. More likely, he just played very well.
I ended up with 4 points, which was not a great result, but not embarrassing either.
