World's top juniors race towards 2700

(NOTE: I met the author of this post last Sunday at the venue of the Pichay & Davis Chess Cup in Pasay City. It was indeed nice to meet you, Sir Joey. Also known as joeyj over chessgames.com, Mr. Jeroes started a wonderful thread over at philboxing.com called PROJECT 2700, which I think is an offshoot of the PROJECT 2700 track which I prominently placed at the sidebar of this page.)

I hope GM Wesley So will reach that mark of 2700+ rating... More knowledge in the opening and practice against the machines like World Chess Live Dasher program against GM Petya computer program that evaluated having a rating of 2700. If he can beat that plenty of times then I am sure he will reach above 2700+ !!! that software program is from ICC.com
