Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Wesley So is the best player. Thank you Lotis Key for helping the Filipino pride to become the next world champion.
Ding Lirin will humble and dust Wesley overwhelmingly he might consider quitting chess for good. But he’s got no where to go. He didn’t finished his college at Webster blinded by money he earned from previously second rated tournament.
At least Nakamura is not alone. Giri Vs Wesley resembles Carlsen Vs Nakamura rivalry. For Wesley to be good or best, he better beat Yifan Hou first and then go from there. Who knows he might get lucky beating the World Champion.
Well, now. It does look like 2800 is now within reach. And we haven’t finished January yet. So is now at 2788. With this fine performance, he will surely be invited to more super tournaments.
Wow! Ding Liren not Wesley So in the front cover?! Maybe a prospect for Team Webster?
Where is the birth who said Giri will not beat So?
You mean the next Nakamura?? Wesley is a so so player whose tail is in between his butt every time he plays.
None of chinese players will be in the top#10, they are not capable, Wesley is better than any Chinese GM, proof is in the facts!! Every time a Chinese GM goes over 2700 ELO, strangely it happens in China. Some of them seem to go to bathroom more often just before s win against a strong foreign GM.
So has a Chinese surname which means he has Chinese blood too.
Lotis Key and Norlito Sugardom tandem will work wonders for Wesley So.
