Chess phenomenon

Wanted: social scientist and psychologist! Or even psychiatrist?

The happenings are alarming. And they're real.

Believe it or not, Barangay Wesley (BW) is something worthy of attention and research by social scientists and psychologists. Or even by psychiatrist?

The spell of the 15-year old GM Wesley So is simply phenomenal.

Exaggeration? Nah, it's real.

BW citizens are bonding like real brothers - emotions attached. Curiously, their emotions are triggered by the fate of their Chairman.

They tend to become depressed - even war-freak - when the boy they are looking up to loses a game of chess.

They exult like innocent kids, the happiest on earth, when victory is at hand.

Interestingly, they have this thing called "tampuhan" - which could possibly be caused by a-not-so-good game result of their hero.

Indescribable charisma. Their hero affects their real lives.

Visit the barangay to believe.
