Wesley So is a Filipino chess prodigy who is currently the second youngest chess Grandmaster in the world (after Anish Giri) and the 7th youngest GM in history. Wesley So achieved the title at age 14 years, 1 month and 28 days during the 3rd Pichay Cup International Open in Parañaque City, Philippines in December 2007.

So achieved his first GM norm in the Offene Internationale Bayerische Schach Meisterschaft in Bad Wiessee, Germany in November 2006 and his second GM norm in the World Juniors Under-20 Chess Championship in Yerevan, Armenia in September 2007.

GM So has also won the World Under-16 Team Championship Board 1 gold medal with a phenomenal score of 9.5/10. In his home country, he holds the record the country’s youngest National Open Chess Champion and its youngest National Junior Open Chess Champion.

In his young but distinguished career, Wesley has competed in World Youth Championships in 2003, 2004 and 2005, finishing equal first in his age group in Belfort in 2005 alongside Srinath Narayanan, Sanan Sjugirov, and Samvel Ter Sahakyan. His other achievements include two Gold Medals in the 6th Asean Age-Group Chess Championship, Vung Tau, in Vietnam; three Gold Medals in 7th Asean Age-Group Chess Championship, Pattaya, in Thailand. In 2006, he became the youngest member of the national men's team to participate at the 37th Olympiad in Turin at the age of 12.

So won the Dubai Open (2008) in the United Arab Emirates, besting an international field that included 23 other grandmasters. In 2009 he won Corus (Group C) (2009) 1.0 point ahead of his closest rival Anish Giri.

Nov-07-09		mysql: I don't have anybody in my ignore list. But it seems a post disappeared?

Nov-07-09		SugarDom: Yes, I'm figuring the mechanics of the Chinatown Simul... We will give free seats to all Filipino Chinese, the rest goes to BW... A total of 50 simul players, and no clocks this time...

Nov-07-09		fab11mt: Hehe, Tagumpay!! Copy and paste din sa Blow the Whistle lahat ng inilagay nung dalawa kaya ayan natanggal sila. Ingat mayroon din mga menor de edad na nagbabasa nitong mga post natin. Pati na si GM Wes. Takot din silang mabaha ang page ng ibang tao dito. Kaya medyo ingat tayo pag nakikipag asaran, inis talo.

Nov-07-09		art00: May isa pang natira... ***

Nov-07-09		fab11mt: Yung isa na natira <art00> - I think handle din niya yung nang-a-asar kanina dito. Yang mga bastos at alangrespeto at generalized ang pag -atake sa ating lahi, dapat i-copy at paste ninyo sa Blow the you know para maka-abot sa mga namamahala nitong site na ito.

Nov-07-09		timhortons: mga suckpuppet yan ng fans ni babalu. sabi ko na nga ,di sasagot sa main handle nila sa post na mi galit sila pero babastusin ka nila gamit ang alternate account nila. yan ang rason walang papayag dito ng 1 user 1 handle at ang mag violate e ban.daladalawa kasi ang handle na gamit ng mga kupal .yan ang gamit nila pag mi kalaban sila. noon ko pa yan imunumungkahi dito na para maiwasan ang pag gamit ng suckpuppet e enforce ang 1 handle per user sa ang mag violate e ban na. ayaw ng karamihan e enforce yan , ayaw nila mawalan ng suck puppet.

Nov-07-09		Winter: See! Diplomasya ang ginawa ko sa pag-re-post sa kabila at mabuti naman ay yung lider na ang nagpabura ng mga posts. Si galileo parang taga-urot lang sa sabungan yan! Mawawala din yan. Gusto ko din mag-react nang una ko mabasa kaya lang ang pangit ng 'handle' na ginamit. Wholesome pa naman tayo. Di ba <nanobrain>? Hehehe Pag napuno ang page na ito ng 'handle' niya, na ayoko man lang i-type, ano na ang page na ito? Pero kay Dumb? Call ako sa mokong na yan. Good day to ALL!

Nov-07-09		jameskobe: Gud pm BW! Ang hirap pala pag naiiwanan ng basa, hindi ko masundan ang usapin ngayon re: trolls! Eagerly waiting for the start of WCC. GO GM Wes!! Go RP GMs!
