Wesley: I want to be a Super GM

He made it to 3/3 last night in the 10th Dubai Open after beating Georgian grandmaster Levan Pantsulaia. Now GM Wesley So of the Philippines is hitting the sports headlines in the Gulf! He tells the local paper there: "I felt very happy when I became a Grandmaster. Maybe I will become a model for my fellow players. My aim now is to become a super Grandmaster".
