GM Aleksey Sorokin is the 2022 U.S. Open Champion

After nine days of grueling classical chess, Russian GM and Texas Tech student Aleksey Sorokin is our 2022 U.S. Open champion. Sorokin tied for first with GM Elshan Moradiabadi as both went undefeated with seven wins and two draws. The two were never paired, and each won $4,800 for their share of first. But the title of champion still had to be awarded, and the two squared off for an armageddon game with an additional $200 on the line.
