Player Le Quang Liem lost four of the five games of the second day of the Aimchess US online super fast chess tournament on the evening of August 29, Hanoi time.
Quang Liem started the day with three consecutive losses to Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Alireza Firouzja and Daniel Naroditsky, and fell to the bottom group. In the fourth game, he defeated Eric Hansen, but lost to Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the last game of the day. He rose to the penultimate group with three points from 10 games, equal to Jorden van Forestest.

Quang Liem’s chance to continue is almost gone. The players in the top 8 are having at least 5.5 points, when the tournament has only five games left. Even if he wins the last five games, Quang Liem will not be able to qualify for the quarterfinals. If he cannot reach the quarterfinals, Quang Liem risks being overtaken by Shakhriyar Mamedyarov and Firouzja on the Champions Chess Tour scoreboard. At this time, Quang Liem ranked 10th and had little hope for the Tour Finals.
The final day of the Aimchess US qualifying exam begins at 10:00 p.m. Monday, August 30, Hanoi time, one hour apart for each game. Unlike two days before, this time Quang Liem held white for three games. He met Leinier Dominguez, Mamedyarov, Vladislav Artemiev, Anish Giri and Liang Awonder respectively.
Aimchess US brings together 16 players including Magnus Carlsen, Levon Aronian, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov, Anish Giri, Wesley So, Alireza Firouzja, Leinier Dominguez, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Jan-Krzysztof Duda, Vidit Gujrathi, Quang Liem, Vladislav Artemiev Forestest, Daniel Naroditsky, Eric Hansen and Awonder Liang. They played a quick round-robin game, selecting eight high-scoring players to advance to the quarterfinals. Each game has a duration of 15 minutes for each player, adding 10 seconds after each move.
