If So isn't a citizen of the United States, why is he taking a spot in the limited-to-12 field? What about Wei Ye, Magnus Carlsen and Vladimir Kramnik? Shouldn't the U.S. Chess Federation have a guest pass for them too? Some of those globalist chess organizers /commodities traders invested in Carthaginian shipping probably wouldn't have complained if Hannibal arrived at Rome to play a game. If Wes becomes a U.S. citizen then he should be allowed to enter the field for the U.S. championship and not before.
My theory is that billionaire sponsors are used to buying a winning team with trades. While Lebron James might go if traded to the Thunder, that would diminish public regard for the city of Cleveland. Global oligarchs may be more comfortable globally viewing citizens as pawns of little consequence. Residence is not the same as citizenship. Remember when that little league team from Chicago had to forfeit the national championship for playing ringers from outside the district?
Luckily So panicked in his game vs Shankland in round 2 settling for a draw. After 30 or so moves and with about 18 minutes remaining before the time control So and Shank had given up just a pair of pawns each. Wes then went on an exchange/simplification spree and he ended up nearly mated. The logic of that was not plain. He has that laid back style waiting for the opponent to advance and then clobber a vulnerability perhaps not finding one he just blitzed it.
Nakamura nearly crushed Caruana yet that too ended in a draw. Some American chess player was bumped from the competition so the chess federation coulod field an all-star team.
