Rapid Fire Questions With Grandmaster Wesley So

[@ytann]

I wasn't exposed to Wesley So outside of Gotham's video. Following his journey and his interviews during this CCT Finals has been amazing. Such an amazing character, slowly becoming my favourite player. Such a happy guy. Feelsgoodman.

[@xyy1680]

Hes just really racist tho…

[@ramachandra776]

Wesley is a great ambassador for chess . his answers were sharp and witty .

[@calebclawrence]

Wesley is the most humble chess pro I've ever seen.

[@aliveless1]

Bro actually said donald trump as a stand up comedian 😂. Wesleys GOATED.

[@markrobertson3054]

Hes donald fan

[@permabearxbt]

donald is pretty fun he ment it in a complimentary way. he's a trump supporter

[@thangmm9721]

I’m a fan on him now😂😂

[@SK-tk6bi]

No, seriously, that's a good answer.

[@jeffreymarquez7487]

Very humble and very nice Wesley so! One of the greatest Filipino chess player!❤❤❤

[@ray.b.75]

The greatest Filipino chess player ever but yes, one of the greatest players of all time.

[@Tedsterslab]

the greatest Filipino chess player...

[@mel124177]

@@ray.b.75 depends, but a lot would say it's Asia's first GM Eugenio Torre. Even the great Tal himself can't win against the man in the age where there are no computers to aid analysis (altho ofc Eugene lost to all the others). It's a tie for me.

[@CatholicNurture]

@@mel124177 Eugene might the first Filipino grandmaster but Wesley is a super grandmaster. Wesley is the greatest Filipino player.

[@guillaumelagueyte1019]

A festival generally has multiple scenes (sometimes the scenes have their own type of music), with multiple artists or bands playing, sometimes over a few days. A concert may have 1 or 2 bands opening before the main band, but that's it, and you can wrap it in an evening while a festival will take at least a day. Love the video, Wesley often seems quite reserved in interviews but he seems like a chill guy.

[@reallybiglizard]

Wesley saying he watches Hikaru’s streams is just too wholesome 😭 I really hope he joins a stream sometime, seems like he really has a lot of respect and love for Hikaru

[@maxthefearless5657]

Wesley is a sucker for a high five and we're all LOVING him for it!

[@mel124177]

Most Filipinos are (been to the islands). They'll hi-five you for just about anything, even if you sing bad karaoke! 😅

[@CatholicNurture]

@@mel124177 What islands? Philippines is a country not islands. haha Check your geography.

[@mel124177]

@@CatholicNurture lmfao. Phillipines is an archipelago composed of nearly 7500 islands, u showy pretender, and we expats often fondly call our country 'the islands' 😂😜

[@ebwoodwork]

As a Christian and chess lover, you are an inspiration Wesley. I also love King of Kings!

[@mantibiangporpohswet41]

True 🙏

[@commanderbacon6426]

Yeah. I never knew he was Christian until the interview he gave yesterday. He’s becoming my new favorite chess player.

[@ebwoodwork]

@@commanderbacon6426 same here (:

[@kesetokaiba]

Amen. I knew about Wesley So for a while now, but of the top chess players in the world, Wesley So is definitely one of the most outspoken about his religious faith (Christian). He is also a really humble person from what I've seen in other interviews.

[@vanpatrick]

same! except the Hillsong part

[@luigicarlos]

You just gotta love GM Wesley So!

[@sirajmunir10]

My first meet up with him was at Vung Tau, Vietnam 2004 and he already racked up individual gold medals for the Philippines at that time. Fast forward, he's WC type of player whilst I'm just a local IT programmer. Damn

[@jerichoj1540]

He loves The Batman which is one my favourite films tells me Wesley has great taste in movies and he’s a Filipino. Much respect to this man one of the best chess players ever, no question.🇵🇭 🐐

[@kdrangej]

Wesley So is an incredibly well achieved and talented chess player and a wonderful person!

[@enemykiller30]

I love how he still has his Filipino accent on, if only our government wasn't that focused on basketball and instead supported other sports, Wesley could've repped our flag instead of the US

[@mattchstick]

Wesley So in every interview is like "This is awkward can I go play chess now please"

[@mariemjlassi723]

I never thought Wesley is this outgoing and welcoming

[@chessbergen]

wow, love the energy, rooting for wesley in the tournament

[@aliveless1]

Wesley truly the goat in both rapid fire and rapid chess

[@jaredchenbagsit1967]

Bro is calculating his responses at a phase faster than me

[@sammy_trix]

Wesley So Humble and very approachable among all the Chess Legends. 🎉❤

[@underwater770]

The chess accuracy GOAT!🐐

[@mattchstick]

This man's middle name is Barbossa. Imagine the intimidation factor of seeing the name "Barbossa" as your opponent.

[@Sprxz_]

Bros looking up thinking it’s a chess game and he’s calculating a 20move checkmate..

[@imaswinviswanath]

Been rooting for magnus the wholetime ..not anymore. Go Wesley🤓

[@commanderbacon6426]

Same.

[@jurrgames309]

"Winter or summer," Danny asked. Wesley answered. "I like fall." Gotta love Wesley haha!

[@phil41055]

Wesley is based! He got a new fan today

[@katkat2850]

The most underrated player in my opinion 🔥

[@rickyatienza2563]

True, because many times gives a draw even in a winning position as long as just need a draw to win the match

[@JGodinho91]

Wesley got second place, we deserve a Karaoke video.

[@Sprxz_]

Favourite song? Wesley: If takes takes takes Bc4 Nf3 I think…. 2hrs later. Magnus rap song is my favourite

[@elinjens1]

He is funny. Really like the guy 😊 But gaawd I felt bad for Abdusattarov yesterday. That last match was intense!

[@martinevensen406]

Wesley so is great guy.

[@tamirmorgan1640]

Wesley is the horniest GM I know

[@andremarques1088]

Wtf 😂😂😂 explain

[@TristramPagot]

That golfpro he mentioned is a busty instagram model 😂

[@noobchessplayer7367]

what do you mean by that???😅😅😅

[@kiewe]

What a great video! Loving the content lately

[@33alltheway14]

I love so like I never new he was this funny

[@waterhouse9693]

Wesley does not strike me as someone who listens to Eminem

[@henryzhao4622]

Notice all the Fischer random winners are likable and imaginative. Creativity wins random. All the clsssic winners are like robotic genius cold people that no one likes. Bc all they do is memorize shit and focus on perfection!

[@Gustqv]

ngl my guy wesley's been cookin

[@ZombieLincoln666]

Kobe… he’s such a Filipino

[@Alekhine-lr9cp]

1:46 No wonder So likes Batman 2022 it starts with Ave maria😂

[@limyongjian2364]

It would've been funny if he said Magnus for poker😂

[@hvkbplays_]

The perfect conclusion doesnt exist:

[@markconrad9619]

Most wholesome person

[@jdhr7767]

"I'll go country because I'm getting older" LMAO

[@chitcoin]

Chill interview

[@lloydlayson6416]

Americans don't make sense.

[@dark_magician_sdy]

[@phoenix007ism]

The recent Batman movie is the best? Nah. Not even top 3.

[@Gush27]

Paige Spiernack 😂😂 cultured man Wesley

[@gp2k00]

All those sports but not hockey. Bummer.

[@dr.sasikaimal2876]

I could say 8th But i have braincells

[@hihiglug]

he seems lovely. and is extremely based for saying lord of the rings

[@Gabriel-ns2cn]

I don't like his playing style, but his personality is really the best out of all the chess Super GMs

[@inoderlulzer5163]

They almost hit timecontrol on this one. Gotta need that increment next time.

[@coltonward8592]

Keep reppin the King of kings!

[@Randomthings0927]

Wesley laugh 😂

[@pintohoareau579]

Mahomes is the correct answer.

[@Ben_C01]

So painful

[@Jojels]

MORE PLS

[@c0d3rb4b4]

"best batman movie ever" that's a hot take 😂

[@czosnektoniecebula247]

[@ZephyrusMorp]

IP Man 👍🏻

[@anmoltyagi3760]

Concerted people like Wesley are forced to tell about how great Christian and USA is to show their loyalty

[@sportschad]

"Soccer"....Football" 😡

[@markrobertson3054]

Make it Blitz next time.

[@stefanclaveria]

Karaoke time with Danny Rensch since he's second

[@gfyty215]

ha ha ha ha . What a funny interview. ha ha i laughed so much. Also, to everybody characterizing this guy as humble - If you truly sincerly believe it, you are the most sweet and inocent white baby lambs ever to grace the earth. :) its not a bad thing! just not terribly useful...

[@lgthejayman]

Ridley Scott is a hack director and GLADIATOR, with ALL of its mistakes in lighting, filming, action, and editing, is supremely overrated. Borderline worst film ever produced.

[@Dawglizard]

I love the detail that the video is 9:40 long, which almost is 10 mins, time control for a RAPID game of chess😂

[@sakerberg4512]

:D

[@anmoltyagi3760]

Why these people include religion in game...how cheap is that....

[@CWPWWRESTLING]

Wesley is so humble

[@anmoltyagi3760]

I will say fisher cz he is American...how narrow minded these people are

[@noobchessplayer7367]

but he said the right answer should be carlsen😅😅

[@jayagarwal6930]

First view

[@vaibhavgupta7068]

first

[@Dadaadad268]

Please stop going on about how great Wesley's personality is. He's seems nice enough but really not that interesting. Hans - now he has personality!

[@susbedo9258]

Stop the d*ck riding of Hans. It's lame. This is a video about Wesley. You don't have to put down Wesley just to promote Hans. 🤡
