PHILIPPINE-BORN American Wesley So vowed to make a serious bid in the next World Chess Championship cycle with hopes of earning a shot at the world classical crown.
“I am only 28 and I’m hoping that next year or in a couple of years, I will get a chance to play in the Candidates,” said Mr. So after he topped the third leg of the FIDE Grand Prix in Berlin, Germany on Monday.
American Hikaru Nakamura and Hungarian Richard Rapport took the two berths with a top two finish in the Grand Prix. But he may have given on that too as he is just third at No. 7 in the live rating with 2773 behind World No. 2 Ding Liren of China with 2810.8 and World No. 5 Levon Aronian of the US with a 2779.2.
