                    [Title] => So thwarts lady GM, edges closer to norm
                    [Summary] => Fide Master Wesley So shocked Woman GM Maria Sergeeva of Kazakhstan to boost his bid for an IM norm in the eighth round of the eighth Dubai Open at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club in Dubai, United Arab Emirates Sunday.


The victory, which snapped So’s back-to-back losses to tough, more experienced rivals, hiked the 12-year-old Filipino whiz output to five points for a share of 25th place heading into the final round of the event.

So’s last round opponent is India’s Gupta, who in 2002 won the Indian National Junior chess crown at age 13.
