Wesley So of the Philippines made his presence felt as he subdued equally talented Ding Liren of China during the first round (tie break)of the 2011 World Chess Cup held at Khanty Mansiysk, Russia. What impressed me most about this kid is his ability to stay focused even during time pressure. Like Manny Paqauiao, Wesley So, is carrying on his shoulder his country's pride after his compatriot Mark Paragua lost his match against Super Grand Master Michael Adams of England in a thrilling passion.
The match on the second round will be crucial for So as greater challenge awaits him. All eyes will be on him as he is paired against Sergey Karakjin of Russia the strong favourite and the top seed on this tournament.
I am wishing that he'll draw his two classical games and makes an impact during active and blitz games where he is known for.
Wesley, good luck and may you be greatly blessed on this tournament!
