MANILA, Philippines — Muling nadagdagan ang ningning sa pangalan ni Grandmaster (GM) Wesley So matapos magkampeon sa prestihiyosong 2020 US Open Chess Championship.
Nakalikom si So ng siyam na puntos mula sa pitong panalo at apat na draws matapos ang 11 rounds para angkinin ang unang puwesto at ang $40,000 top purse.
“It amazes me how many friends and encouragers take time out to watch my games even though I am sure they have their own important stuff to do. I am very grateful. I am just a kid trying to earn a living as is everyone else and to have so much support astounds me,” ani So.
Ito ang ikalawang US Open title ni So.
