WESLEY SO (born Oct-09-1993, 31 years old) Philippines (federation/nationality United States of America) [what is this?] Born in Las Pinas, Philippines, Wesley So is a Filipino/American chess prodigy who attained the GM title at the age of 14 years, 1 month and 28 days. That made him the youngest GM in the world at that time. He was the Philippines' youngest ever International Master, youngest ever Grandmaster and the youngest ever National Champion. Background Wesley was only six when he learned the movement of chess pieces across a board. After memorizing them, chess set in hand, he explored the streets of his neighborhood daring people to play with him. At nine years old he began to compete in local, junior chess tournaments. His first major tournament win was taking 1st place at the 2003 Philippine National Chess Championships for the under 10 age group. So, was awarded his first GM norm at the Offene Internationale Bayerische Schach Meisterschaft, in Bad Wiessee, Germany. He acquired his second GM norm in the World Junior Championship (2007) in Yerevan, Armenia, and capped his year by earning his third GM norm at the 3rd Prospero Pichay Cup International Open in the Philippines. At the age of fourteen years, one month and twenty eight days, FIDE awarded him the title of Grandmaster, making him the ninth youngest chess grandmaster. He was then ranked strongest player in the world under sixteen years old. In 2006 at the age of twelve years and ten months Wesley So became the youngest ever Filipino International Master and the youngest member of the national men's team to participate at the 37th Chess Olympiad in Turin, Italy. In 2007, Wesley So went on to become the youngest National Junior Open Chess Champion and won the gold medal on board one, at the World Under16 Team Championships. So won the title in the Dubai Open (2008), "The Sheikh Rashed Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum Cup", in the United Arab Emirates, and set a record as the youngest winner in the 10-year history of the Cup. Later that year, Wesley So was rated 2610 and was the youngest player in the history of the game to break the 2600 Elo barrier, surpassing the record previously held by Magnus Carlsen. In 2012 he emigrated to the United States, and in 2014 he officially shifted his chess affiliation to the USA. In March 2016, So received the $42,000 Samford Fellowship. (1) Briefly in early 2017, So had his first and last interaction with a regular coach unknown player. (2) As of April 2017, Wesley So is the USA's top player, as well as the #2 player in the world. Rating and Ranking Wesley So was the youngest player ever to cross the 2600 rating mark, 9 days before his 15th birthday, until 2013 when Chinese prodigy Wei Yi achieved the mark at the age of 14 years 5 months 23 days. In March 2013, So's rating crossed over to 2701 (the 92nd player to achieve 2700). In January 2017, So's rating was officially 2808. His April 2017 rating of 2822 made him the 2nd strongest player in the world, behind only Magnus Carlsen.

ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 6589 OF 7419 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-17-14    chancho: If we are to engage in idle speculation, then here goes: perhaps Wes paid Pichay off to free himself. (Uncle Sam definitely got his cut from the Millionaire Open) Wes may have been gradually saving his winnings from all those tournaments he played in. (Doesn't hurt to have the advice of parents who know something about accounting.) Got himself a nice place in Minnesota via a down payment. Then, hired himself a pro coach to work with him. When Wes said 2015 could be a very good year, I guess he wasn't kidding! Dec-17-14    Pulo y Gata: <“I am grateful for everything I learned there and for all the help I received,” said So when asked about his stint at Webster, which had the strongest university-level team in the world, with 10 GMs in the last school term competing for places in three five-person squads. So was the highest-rated chess player to have competed in any varsity event in the U.S. “It was a good experience for me and I have no regrets. The time had just come for me to make a decision to try for a solo career in chess. I was finding it difficult, if not impossible, to carry a full study load and commit to the preparations for competition at the highest levels. I decided if I was going to do the best I could, I needed to try for one thing at a time.” Winning $100,000 at the Millionaire Chess Open, the biggest prize money in the history of open competitions, emboldened him to turn pro at this time. “It’s nice having some financial security as I step out to begin my professional career,” he said. “It was very motivating in that direction. At present I don’t have any financial backers or sponsors, so I am taking this enormous risk on my own and winning that event gives me some time to get on my feet.”> from chessbase The eagle has flown. Bravo! Dec-18-14    Wesley So: I appreciate your support as I move on in my life. Hoping you all bear with me as I try to make my way forward. No anger, no blame, no bad vibes. I don’t want to make anyone unhappy. I am grateful for every step forward. I want to try for more. Proud to be a Filipino! Dec-18-14    lakers4sho: I thought he was a piranha.

Then suppose you either produce some <evidence> for your claims, or stop making them. There is not a single untruth or partial truth in what I have said about my military journalistic career, either here or on my site. You have trumped up a lot of speculation, rumor (manufactured by you out of whole cloth) and unsupported opinions from a "neighbor," but you know perfectly well that none of this proves a thing or in any way justifies your libels. <Do you ever know Jack???> Not personally, but I know his last name is Daniel, and you apparently consume entirely too much of his product before posting here. :-) ∞ Dec-18-14    Pulo y Gata: <lakers4sho> Timing, my fried, is everything. lol Go, Wesley!

Doubtless you will continue to lie about me and cover it in sophistry. But such behavior does have consequences. It's not for me to say what form they will take, but one day I predict you will look back on a long career of glib deceptions in service of a corrupt agenda, of leaving senseless damage in your wake wherever you go, and regret your choices.

They're the ones following me around the site, posting lies about my military career. Is that kind of behavior acceptable to you, while defending myself isn't? I suggest you consider carefully the moral implications of telling *me* to stop posting while ignoring the attacks to which those posts are a reply. ∞ Dec-18-14    Pulo y Gata: OK, go on then.

Dec-18-14    Sir Chief: Kung nasan si <Wesley So>, nandun din ako! Sir <wordfunph>, from QC, present!! ^.~ Dec-18-14    Abdel Irada: You know, we have some "bully bugs" (thank you for that one, <iking>) in our apartment. They're insolent little gnats or fruitflies, which we sometimes call Kamikaze Flies for their habit of crashing into any uncovered glass of liquid and drowning in it. Their favorite pastime is buzzing right in front of our faces just before landing on our food. You can almost hear them snickering, secure in the impunity of their small size and aerial agility. Here's how we handle them. We wait patiently for one of them to settle on a wall or chair and get comfortable and complacent. Then, just when it's happy and secure, without a worry in the three neurons that make up its brain, I approach and let it have a good jet of water from a plant sprayer. Then, as it lies stunned and uncomprehending on the floor, a foot descends from the heavens and dispatches it to whatever afterlife awaits small, annoying insects. The bully bugs on this site may want to take note. :-) ∞ Dec-18-14    desertfox: Laging ngmamasid di lang pumapatol sa mga basura.... ever present po from the mideast!!!!go gm wes!!!
