Who is GM Wesley So? 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.
