Currently the number 2 in the world chess ranking, Wesley So is aiming to be the world champion within this year. He had been topping the highly graded tournaments lately and his aspiration has high probability. Wesley is a Filipino who became Philippine champion before he joined international tournaments. Some years ago, Wesley went to the US and solicited sponsorship. He was successful, both in his solicitation and in his campaign since he was landing in the top 3 all the time. It is just sad that Wesley is now playing under the flag of the US. And if he becomes world champion, he would be classified as an American and not Filipino.
