The 31-year-old won his third US title and is returning to his 2018 form when he kept Magnus Carlsen close for the world title
Fabiano Caruana retained his US Championship this week in his home town of St Louis, scoring an unbeaten five wins and six draws. The 31-year-old already looks a clear favourite in 2024 to win the world title which narrowly eluded him in 2018, when he drew all 12 classical games against Magnus Carlsen before losing the speed tiebreak.
In the past, Caruana has seemed a reserved personality, in contrast to the outgoing and articulate Carlsen, but in the past year he has gained many new admirers through his weekly C-Squared podcast on YouTube, an hour-long discussion of current chess issues. Additionally, his first Chessable instruction course was released last week, exactly coinciding with his new US Championship title.
