Go wesley!!! well done!!!!!
You make your countrymen proud…… Go Wesley!!!!
Wesley So’s next opponent will either be Eljanov or Malakhov. Both are 2700+ players and in their primes. Things are not getting easier for Wesley, but his confidence must be very high right now.
Wesley is underappreciated. All the talk about Carlsen has obscured his tremendous talent. Him beating Eljanov or Malakhov would not be a surprise to me. Ivanchuk and Kamsky are a lot tougher than these two guys.
Great show by Wesley. He played solid against the stolid Kamsky. I hope he goes all the way.
So 2640 and 18 year old Magnus 2801. That is why everyone talks about Magnus.
And there goes the last representative of the great, big USA 🙂
Time for Kamsky to retire from professional chess…
GREAT GAME WESLEY!!!
KEEP WINNING UNTIL YOU GET THE CHAMPIONSHIP CUP….
WE ARE BEHIND YOU PRAYING FOR YOUR GREAT SUCCESS…
WE TRUST THAT YOU CAN!!!!

Is there another player who has reached a similar level without coaching?
Rubinstein comes to mind. In the modern era, anyone?
So is my countryman. i’m very proud of him playing with great players around the world and winning. MABUHAY KA WESLEY. MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS
Great win by Wesley!I hope our govt can extend the necessary financial support and also from private corporations for this young talented chess player to become world champion in the future. He is the modern Bobby Fischer inspite of not having a trainer, working alone with his computer.Go Wesley!
