After defeating Levon Aronian in yesterday’s sixth round of the US Chess Championship, Dariusz Swiercz scored his second victory in a row as he today crushed Hans Niemann after only two hours of play. Swiercz achieved a clear advantage in the early part of the middlegame when everything started going wrong for Hans. After Niemann’s inaccurate 22…g6??, Dariusz needed only six more moves to score.
