GM Wesley So

GM Wesley So has never played yet against a higher-rated opponent after seven rounds of play in Aeroflot Open 2009.

Going into Round 8, he has scored 4.0 points from 3 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws (+3 -2 =2).

Beating his Ukrainian opponent in Round 8, GM Yuriy Ajrapetjan might be the key in having a higher-rated opponent in the final round.

May he sweep the remaining two rounds.

Good luck, Wesley! Amaze us again, please.
