The Filipino community in this region is absolutely incredible. They on their own raised some money to support their own player. Some even drove 5-6 hours to come to Lubbock to support Wesley So.
I also had a number of conversations with Wesley’s Dad and Ray’s Dad in the past 2 days. We came up with some very interesting ideas to help some of the most talented kids. As soon as we finalize the details, I will make the official announcement.
The are most beautiful chess photos. The very best I have seen all over the chess internet.

Also, I know Wesley’s dad, William. He’s a very nice person who is obviously supportive of Wesley. He’s always emphasized that chess should be fun for his son and the moment it isn’t, Wesley should quit.
