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)
