GM Wesley So of the Philippines leads the Dubai Open 2008 with a clean 4.0 points after 4 rounds. Sharing the top spot with him is FM Salem A R Saleh of UAE. On the 12th spot is another Filipino IM Julio Sadorra with 3 points. Other Filipinos playing are Jobannie Tabada on 58Th with a rating of 2057, Robert Arellano on 60th with a rating of 2023 and Ernesto Yap on 105th with a rating of 2038.These Filipino "unknowns" I think are based in Dubai and enjoying the chance to play in the 131 field of players from 25 countries.
The leader of the pack, GM Wesley So, is also the current Philippines' Number 1 with FIDE's April 2008 Rating and present youngest GM in the world. As of now, Wesley has a high tiebreaks1 at 7546,which is the sum of the ratings of opponents.
Good luck for the remaining rounds Wesley!
