Filipino Wesley So, the youngest grandmaster in the world at 14, surprised a strong pack of experienced players to walk away with the Dubai Open Chess Championship title at the Dubai Chess and Culture Club.

14-year-old Filipino Wesley So

He finished with 7.0 points on six wins, one loss and two draws after nine games of play. The young So actually finished in a tie with Grandmasters Gagunashvili Merab of Georgia, Ghaem Maghami Ehsan of Iran and Li Chao of China, but emerged the champion by virtue of a superior tie break score. He took home the prestigious Sheikh Rashed Bin Hamdan Al Maktoum Cup and a fourth ($4,500) of the combined prize of $18,000.

    Hey nice site. Anyways chess tips. To become good one must learn from ones one mistakes And successes. Chess analysis pro 7000 I found very useful in helping my chess development. I’d recommend it. Next keep the pressure on. And learn to hold the tension on the board instead of running out of tension with no advantage gained.
