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)
IM Nazi Paikidze (2366) - 2 time U.S. Women's Chess Champion
WGM Jennifer Yu (2365) - CURRENT U.S. WOMEN'S CHESS CHAMPION
WGM Atousa Pourkashiyan (2347)
FIDE Master Ashritha Eswaran (2342)
WGM Tatev Abrahamyan (2341)
WGM Thalia Cervantes (2333)
FIDE Master Ruiyang Yan (2292) - Age 16

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.

Hales Corners Chess Challenge XXXIII

Hola!  The 33rd Hales Corners Chess Challenge, sponsored by the Southwest Chess Club, took place on September 30, 2023.  There were 103 entries of which 18 women/girls participated (4 in the Open and 14 in the Reserve).  You can view the full results/ranking for all players at the U.S. Chess Federation website.  I don't know why I can't find some of the female players listed below in the USCF results.  I rely on the information I received directly from the Club.

Here are the results of how the chess femmes did and Goddesschess prize money (if any) they won.  Goddesschess prizes are awarded in addition to any prize a player may receive.
