2025 FIDE World Cup Update: Wesley So resigns in a completely Drawn position ??

I am very much pleased that arjun and gukesh won

Oh my god

Kudos to indian team

Feel bad for Wesley.

Winning in game 1, couldnt convert

Then resigned in game 2 in drawn position. Absolute heartbreak

Yeah

The position wasn't "completely drawn". It was drawn only with the best play. If he fails to see the drawing line (which is entirely possible in time trouble), he just loses without a fight.

But he is a GM and he should've seen that, and the time was increment to 30 seconds... He must've calculated that 🤔

It was insane study like draw, which super GM would find if they had enough time. But Wesley had less than a minute. He’s a human being too.

@borovicka75 I understand but the position was already simplified

It’s quite typical for people who don’t understand chess to turn Stockfish on and say: Look, it’s easy, why those idiotic GMs don’t see it.

But what if I tell you that there were many instances when GMs found the winning move low on time or calculated in very low time like in the 2021 championship match between ian nepomniatchi and magnus Carlsen where Carlsen found the greatest moves in the queen and rook endgame even low on time... There are so many examples to tell but idiots like you don't even understand the power of Super GMs, and with 30 move increment Wesley so couldn't even saw that the position was drawn....

People like you just don't know anything and say stupid all the time... It is wasting of time to tell you examples...

@borovicka75 The wise man avoids dispute; the fool insists on being heard.... This lines perfectly fits over you, you started the dispute...

Also a famous match between anand and vladimir kramnik in 2003 where anand found extremely difficult sequence while being low on time

And take the example of Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura in various bullet and blitz games

Don't forget that Wesley So is also a super GM
