GM Wesley So 3rd Game in Biel: Win vs Rodshtein

GM Wesley So defeated his 3rd round opponent in the Young Grandmaster Tournament (YGT) of the 43rd Biel International Chess Festival in Bern, Switzerland.

I watched last night how GM Wesley So wisely spent 30 minutes on his 25th move, Rg4. Online congregations like the Facebook Events Forum: Biel International Chess Festival and Chessdom/ChessBomb broadcasting the games were flooded with suggestions on Wesley's 25th. In the end, the suggested Rg4 given by no other than GM Mark Paragua via the Facebook Forum won.

The experience was truly amazing as I saw thousands of Pinoys watching and supporting our very own on the global stage.


After 25. Qf2  
Rodhstein, M. (ISR. 2609) - So, W. (PHI. 2674)

This is another win for Wesley So with the black pieces and now leads the rankings after three rounds.
