Caruana u vođstvu uoči poslednjeg kola šampionata SAD; Samuel Sevian otkinuo glavu Niemannovom kralju

Goran

Saint Louis

U dvanaestom kolu Niemann je postigao treću uzastopnu pobjedu pa se sa 6,5 poena nalazi na diobi od petog do devetog mjesta. Caruana je remizirao sa Shanklandom i sa 8 poena nalazi se pola poena u vođstvu ispred Robsona. Liang i Dominguez dijele3-4  mjesto sa 7 poena.

Ipak pretposlednje kolo je obilježilo Sevianovo čudno ponašanje. Kako bi rekao Šojić: „Zanimljivo društvance!“

Zanimljivo je ponašanje Seviana koji je uzeo Niemannovog kralja vrtio ga neko vrijeme, i na kraju je kralju otkinuo glavu što je izazvalo smijeh i čuđenje komentatora. Caruana je prokomentarisao: „Nepoštovanje je došlo do svog vrhunca. Sevian je otkinuo glavu Niemannovom kralju“.
