well maggie will hold the throne for a while
Wesley vs Ding
Sort:
The International Tribunal in the Philippines-China Arbitration says the West Philippines Sea rightfully belongs to the Philippines. China can save face by backing off, and by respecting the rule of UNCLOS.
This sounds auspicious, as Wes Philippines So shall eventually slay the dragon and get his crown in the end.
Wesley So vs. Ding Liren is another Cold War in the making, after the era of Bobby Fisher vs Boris Spassky. China wants to wrest the West Philippines Sea away from the Filipino people; and now, Wes Philippines So appears to be the target of contention of both US and China to get the World Chess Championship Crown from Magnus Carlsen.
