| Jan-17-09 | | parmetd: unbelievable will to win! |
|
| Jan-17-09 | | Kinghunt: After 64... Rg1+, black has the edge, but white should be able to hold a draw with 65. Kd2. After 65...e3+ 66. ♔e2 ♖e1+ 67. ♔f3 ♘e5+ 68. ♔g2 e2 69. ♘f5+ ♔d3 70. ♖d8+ and white can hold with accurate play. But the text move, 65. ♔c2??, loses spectacularly, as So proves. |

|
| Jan-18-09 | | 321ycnay: What a stout heart! This is, tenacity and generalship, over sixty-four squares of the chessboard on full display! Well done, GM Wesley So. |
|
| Jan-18-09 | | shintaro go: <His play still lacks maturity> Duh. He's just a kid but he has the balls to pull off the win with Black. |
|

He should be. It would be great to see Wesley at 2010 Amber! |
|
| Jan-19-09 | | timhortons: <notyetagm> i dont think so. if he do good at corus then i hope they invite him. |
|
| Jan-23-10 | | tedbalonzo: Wesley is great. I'm now 56 years old . No filipino has ever achieved his feat in the past. At his age a dawning of pacquaio in chess will be achieved. |
|
| Jan-26-11 | | wordfunph: ..and they will play again tomorrow in the 11th round of Tata Steel Group B, this time GM Wesley to handle white. |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | LoveThatJoker: An entertaining game and a fantastic finish from GM So! LTJ |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | Manuel G. Vergara: Wow! Game of the Day!!! |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | Abdel Irada: Another pun like this, and we'll have to So someone's typing fingers together. <[One minute later: Hey! Not *my* fingers! What are you doing?]> |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | Lemon69: Seeing Wes on GOTD today when I just open up the browser? It's just as good as drinking the best coffee after you wake up in the morning. Nice one! |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | iking: was this the game that clinched Group C winner? |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | torrefan: What a scary endgame, willingly going into it a pawn down! |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | erniecohen: Why is this GOTD? White just blunders away a draw at the end with 65. ♔c2. And it's not as if the rest of the game was especially well played; Black missed some easy wins earlier the game (35.. ♕c7 and 38...♕xg2), and there are lots of inaccurate moves. So has played much better games than this one. |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | kevin86: During the better part of this game,black's best defender was the white pawn at g7. |
|
| Aug-22-12 | | The Last Straw: <erniecohen> The ♙ queens or white loses his ♖ after 65.♔d2 e3+ 66.♔e2 ♘f4+ 67.♔f3 ♖f1+ 68.♔(any) e2 69.♖e8 (or ♖d8+ ♔e3) e1♕ 70.♖xe1 ♖xe1 or 65.♔e2? ♖e1+ 66.♔d2 e3+ 67.♔c2 ♖c1+ 68.♔(any) ♖xc8 69.♘xc8 e2 followed by e1♕. |

Qc7 and 38...Qxg2 easily wins the game; but they are near the time control and where blunder comes most often. Wesley So can easily opt for a ceasefire but he pursued it (tenaciously) until the end, and that secures the first place finish, i believe. |
