IE wont let you close the window I think.

If you use a browser that's not ridiculous or 10 years old you should be fine though.

Only time will tell if So can be a serious threat to Carlsen.For the time being though,Carlsen is the stronger player.

Wesly So is the next challenger to Calsen's throne. Currently, he is the only undefeated player in Tata Steel. He drew to Carlsen and dismantled Aronian and Ivanchuk. I love to see him challenge Magnus in the near future

Well, he did break the 2800 barrier with his win in London Chess Classic and Grand Chess Tour 2016. But I don't think he can still outplay Carlsen. Time will tell.

from my first comment about So being a champion, maybe time really will tell. and i hope that time would be this year..

Can someone tell me names of GMs close with GM So? These GMs could be part of So's Team in the future WCC.

I think any of the guys 2-4 would give Carlsen a great world championship match.

Not sure about Kramnik. He has that rhematoid thing and he lost to Anand which Carlsen beat without trouble twice. Kramnik from 10 years ago sure, but today I don't think so.

Been following the games of Wesley. In the last 27 games, he has not lost a single game from the Reykjavic Open. Susan Polgar is doing a great job mentoring him. If he plays with Magnus now, I think he'd best get a draw. But give him time, say 4 years, he'll reach his peak. He can beat Magnus.    

It's been less than 4 years since you made this prediction, and now Wesley So has won 1st place in the Tata Steel tournament where Magnus took 2nd.  And now Wesley So is ranked #2 in the world.  Your prediction is accurate!

Anand is good against Kramnik, but no one else is.

that is like asking how licks it takes to get to the center of the tootsie roll pop

I mean, Wesley is better at being in a cult than Magnus. That's for sure.
