The only way for GM Wesley So to win the $ 100 k top prize is to win every single round starting round 5. A draw will hurt his chances as the door to top four is tight. He should show no mercy, fight to win and NO DRAWS no matter what as only a WIN in the next rounds 5, 6, 7 … etc can secure himself the top place and the $ 100 k prize.
Maybe noob question.
How come Wesley So was able to play? From what I read previously he has to sit out of competition for 2 years?
