WESLEY SO, NASUNGKIT ANG IKATLONG US CHESS TITLE

Nasungkit ni GM Wesley So ang kanyang ikatlong US Chess title matapos pagharian ang torneo. Bitbit ang bandera ng Unites States, naungusan nit ang dalawa pang grandmasters. Ito ay sa katauhan nina Fabiano Caruana at Sam Sevian sa rapid playoff.


I thought the tournament was pretty much over by yesterday, Fabiano almost won three games in a row. It just gave me a new breath of life that the tournament was not yet over, that I might still have some chances,” ani So chess.com.


Nakapagbulsa ang 28-anyos na si So ng $50,000 prize money.


Sapol noong 2014, kinakatawan na ng full-blooded Pinoy GM ang Amerika sa chess. Unang nakuha nito ang US Chess title noong 2017.
