i hope the name of wesley so will be indicated.why just mention the new champion?
Because we were asked not to mention his name.
Can you tell us who asked you not to mention his name?
No. It is a private matter.
A depressing story of a prodigy that is manipulated by ideas of a wrong kind of people. Even when he achieve the world championship crown, Polgar is always still remembered as the stepping stone of every success of this poor boy. It will hunt him forever?
wesley so is a proud product of susan polgar.without her, wesley so would not have been here at the top of sinquefield
Congratulations Wesley So for winning the 2016 Sinquefeld Cup.
I remember he is once a student of GM Susan Polgar who helped polished this then-young prodigy to where he is right now.
Yes, but today he has a management team who does not wish to be reminded of any of his past, including his own blood parents, his teammates, friends, and coaches. So we comply with their wishes.
This is Wesley So’s moment in time. And no amount of pettiness can tarnish that.
Let’s just be happy for this young man. I am sure he is aware of the debt of gratitude he owes some people.
I hope he keeps on improving.
Wesley So a full blooded Filipino, whatever you say, he is a Filipino!
Wesley So a full blooded Filipino, whatever you say.
