World Chess Cup 2009 - GM Wesley So
Owner: Pinoychess
Added: 12 Nov 2009, 03:05
Greetings to all.
Just to update you about Wesley So's World Cup (participation):
1. Ticket: None yet. According to Wesley last night, PSC wants to pay only 30%.
2. His visa processing: We paid P8, 000 on our own.
3. Allowance: None yet
4. Allowance for Hotel/Food: None also.
Wesley discussed with me and his sister about his disappointments. He gave his best, but our country did not.
It’s a pain to see a son demoralized on the situation. I got teary-eyed, secretly, after hearing from this kid…
As parents, we will try our best for him. He is lucky to have BW who unselfishly supports him.
Sincerely,
Leny So (mother of Super GM Wesley So)
