112th US Open 2011

Mark Crowther - TWC

The 112th US Open took place in Orlando 30th July - 7th August 2011. The many schedules made it impossible until the very final stages to find out who was leading or even entered. Nakamura, probably wanting to get some frustration out of his system from Dortmund rocked up on Thursday. Alex Lenderman won the title after a blitz playoff against GM Alejandro Ramirez, he had earlier held Nakamura in his round 9 game. This was between the 2 players with the best tie-breaks. Also tied for 1st were Hikaru Nakamura, Tamaz Gelashvili, Alonso Zapata, Giorgi Kacheishvili and Timur Gareev. Final table now available but the games are updated.
