This is one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Kentucky Derby.
The U.S. Championship will start Friday in St. Louis with all the big names like Kamsky, Nakamura, Onischuk, Shulman, Akobian, Kaidanov, Shabalov, Benjamin, Christiansen, etc. Will one of the favorites win this prestigious title or will a long shot win it like the Kentucky Derby?
What is your prediction?
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
I’m rooting for Akobian and Onischuk.
