The coming tournament this 20th is a very strong tournament, with chess powerhouses China and India sending some of their best players. The top 4 will qualify for the World Cup.

What's his upcoming schedule for 2011? I've recently discovered his game and I like his potential.

I see.

Any chance Wesley breaks 2700 this year?

Next up for young Wesley So is Wijk aan Zee, in about a week. Hopefully he prepares well for this tournament, so he can win the whole thing and join his contemporary Anish Giri and the big dogs in Group A next year.

Avatar of LastImpression

drawn 2 games so far...

Avatar of LastImpression

again another draw after 3 rounds...looks like he won't be able to win group B this year

Avatar of LastImpression

He's within a point of leader Luke McShane with still plenty of matches left. As long as he doesn't lose a game, he's got a chance to catch up.

BTW after Wijk aan Zee comes Aeroflot within a couple of weeks. Hopefully he can perform well there too, maybe get a ticket to Dortmund by winning.

Avatar of LastImpression

3 consecutive victories - vs. Ganguly, Fressinet (2707), and Navara (2708) - for a joint first with McShane and Efimenko, but the highest TPR so far.
