Nice job Wesley.
So is only good enough for local tourneys!
Mall tourneys at that!
Oh So!
So has the talent, but he chokes in big games.
If Wesley fans just let him find his own identity…he will be a much better player…know what i mean!filipino myself
We know his identity: the Mall Chess Champ of the Philippines.
Does Wesley know he is letting his fans down by hiding in that chess dump island playing patzer tournaments?
