Oct-12-14		ajbaba: Absolute brilliant ending from wesley so. Very instructive. He used the passed pawn to tie black down while improving his own position .

Oct-12-14		5hrsolver: 43.Bg6 to follow.

Oct-12-14		Garech: Great game from Wesley, for sure - he has now passed Kramnik on the live ratings and entered the top ten for the first time with a rating of 2762! -Garech

Oct-12-14		Capacorn: Real pleasure to play over this game. I know Timur casually, so I normally wouldn't take pleasure in watching him lose; but So played beautifully. Bravo. I love games featuring material imbalances, especially Queen versus a collection of lesser pieces.

Oct-12-14		SugarDom: Gareev was adventurous here and he paid the price, getting the worse of the exchange. Kudos to Wesley for the precise play.

Oct-12-14		Pulo y Gata: White was improving his position bit by bit and it's hard to foresee all the implications of Nf4, but Wesley definitely saw deeper in the position.

Oct-12-14		Jambow: This kid is going to make So So a good thing... The more I see the more impressed I become. Most players start out playing dynamic chess Wesley seems to be becoming more dynamic as time passes. I like his style.

Oct-13-14		Manuel G. Vergara: At 21 years old, this Super Grandmaster will make every other Top Ten Super GM run for their money. hehe

Oct-13-14		john barleycorn: Wow, what a game played by Wesley So. Time to bring his briefcase for the money collection today. Best of luck...

Oct-14-14		joey1947: Wesley So is definitely a very promising grandmster and strong contender for future world champion! congrats Wesley! also, thanks to S Polgar for her guidance.

Nov-02-14		freeman8201: The queen/rook exchange reminds me of some of fisher games where he traded a queen for a rook, or sac., or a queen and bishop for a queen and rook. And it wasn't for a mating attack it was to exchange and transition into a favorable endgame!!!

Nov-02-14		Rookiepawn: click for larger view Here I thought this could be a good puzzle, so I considered taking the BN in f4 and the Q sac... Damn I was scared of an imaginary BQ check in g5 (not possible because the pawn in f4) so I discarded it and decided 25. Re3 was better.

Nov-03-14		lloydp57: Wesley so will be soon a world chess champion becuase he is now in top ten of the whole world. It is in due time he will knock off carlsen and caruana.

Nov-03-14		perfidious: <lloydp57: Wesley so will be soon a world chess champion becuase he is now in top ten of the whole world. It is in due time he will knock off carlsen and caruana.> If being a borderline top ten player guaranteed the title, Gelfand, Kamsky, Leko and a host of other players would also have made it--but none of them got there in the end.

Nov-03-14		PhilFeeley: <Rookiepawn> The puzzle position will be for a Saturday or Sunday puzzle at move 26. Qxg6!! Nicely played.

Nov-18-14		kamagong24: great Q sac!!!
