May-16-09		1. h4: Very interesting material imbalance: A and 4 s vs. 3 minor pieces. Black's minor pieces end up dominating the rook and pawns.

May-17-09		Imposter: It looked like So blundered five pawns in that endgame...

May-17-09		shintaro go: It was a bad performance.

May-17-09		SugarDom: So what Shintaro? Wesley is entitled to a bad performance now and then. He's just a boy, you know. Every player has his ups and down, don't they.

May-29-09		Vasilyev90: Big upset by the Chinese GM!

Jul-26-09		LaFreak III: reckless imprudence resulting to kingcide

Aug-27-09		Whitehat1963: Reckless youth.

Aug-27-09		timhortons: wesley attack here like theres no another day, he just hurl everyhting at the enemy.obviously by the 25th he know his lossing, he played the rest for fun:) i remember in the battle of granicus, a number of persian nobles charge alexander elite cavalry unit, one after another they were killed, alexander the great said "what a useless loss of life". the nobles tried to encourage there soldier to fight well, but good tactics in the battle field win the day for alexander.
