Such a great guy. He's always praising his opponents. And I can totally relate to his sadness for not being able to be with his kittens right now. They grow so so fast. 4 months old kittens are just SO fun to be around. 😅

Hallucinating itw, Wesley is here and absent at the same time. I've never seen him so disconnected. Despite his qualifying, his play seems off altogether. I hope he finally gets his bearings and starts being Wesley again!

One of the most sincere interviews I've seen from a top grandmaster. Big fan of humble Wesley, despite of his shape in this particular tournament.

Nikola jokic and Wesley So have the same mindset that would be pets first. JOKIC is a part time basketball player and Wesley is a part time Chess player.

@geizuko9927 11 ай бұрын

Except So is nowhere near Jokic and is rapidly declining with that mindset. Compared to Jokic in basketball So in chess is a bum.
