Twelve-year old Wesley So scored his second win a row against an international master yesterday in the 4th round of the Dubai 2006 Open. It's early days in the tourney yet but surely his achievements so far emphatically justify his position in RP's Olympiad team.

Round 4 was a day for the youngsters, according to the official site. Particularly impressive was WIM Pourkashiyan Atousa's win over GM Valeriy.
Our two Aussie heroes improved their situation by each scoring upset victories. Dusan Stojic, a recent joint top placer in the Doeberl Cup 2 weeks ago, defeated Pinoy player FM Antonio Molina. And fellow Victorian Nur Yachou is finally off the mark by downing WFM Bukhashem.

Looks like Wesley is the real deal.
Asia needs some new talent like him to let europeans know they are not the only ones with up and coming talent. Chess is a world game,talent grows everwhere.
Hope we can get him to play in the Australian Open in Canberra.
Leko played here when he was a teenager.
