2023 U.S. Chess Championship and 2023 U.S. Women's Chess Championship

 Hola!

Not interested in the 2023 U.S. Chess Championship as there are no female players.

The 2023 U.S. Women's Chess Championship is in focus once again.  Round 1 of the event starts on October 5, 2023.  You can watch the event live at the U.S. Chess Champs website.  Eleven rounds ending October 17, 2023.

The players:

GM Irina Krush (2488) - 8 time U.S. Women's Chess Champion
IM Carissa Yip (2421) - Age 19
FIDE Master Alice Lee (2419) - Age 13 (recently earned her final IM norm)
IM Anna Zatonskih (2402) - 4 time U.S. Women's Chess Champion
WGM Gulrukhbegim ("Begim") Tokhirjonova (2388)

It should be a good contest.  There are three players under the age of 20, great to see.  Total prize money the women will be competing for is $152,000; the men will be competing for $250,000. Yeah.
