Pacland's Philippine Boxing Forum

Ang naging issue ung hotel daw sila pa nag bayad at hindi sa organizer. Ung hotel na 35usd lang pero 150usd ang sinisingil sa kanila tska inatake ng goons.... ni report nila pero wala daw nangyari nag post na rin si wesley so about this incident.

iba din talaga ang mainstream media dito sa atin tsk


black mark na naman ito sa Pinas, as if yung ginawa nila Pichay kay Wes wasn't enough

Noooo, GM Wes has just been bumped out by Aronian on the top 10 of live ratings.

ok lang yan sa tingin ko, players undergo cycles in their performances


mas importante yung further development ng playing strength ni Wes



wala akong balita if Wes has continued working with coach/es......I hope he has decided again to get coaches, parang malaki ang improvements niya pag may coach

Bakit hindi kasali si Wes sa 2019 Tata Steel?

US players wala din maliban kay Shankland. Pati sila Caruana at Nakamura di isinali.

Napansin ko lang lumagpas sya sa margin of top 10 after a long time dun. Legend na sya sa chess world, kaya nya kahit walang coach or second, pero hope he can develop further. Sa tingin ko sya or maybe GM Mamedyarov can match King Carlsen in the future. Just always stay condition, healthwise, spiritwise.

Keep the faith Wes

in wesley's post @ chessgames, he will be playing instead at Gibraltar this January, though he appreciated
Tata but he accepted Gibraltar long standing invite this time for a change of scenery.

In Gibraltar he is seeded #3 next to MVL and Aronian. Also playing there will be Yu Yanggi, Naka, Navara, Vitiugov, Le, Ivanchuk, Artemiev and many other Super GMs.

Kung kukuha si Wes ng coach tapos mas magaling pa sya sa coach better na huwag na lang. Sa technical and ranking advisers na lang ang kunin nya. Yung alam ang pasikot sikot sa rules regulations ng tournaments at may pangalan sa mundo ng chess and sports. Atleast USA na ang dinadala ni Wes mas may impluensya na. Kung flag ng Pinas walang mararating talaga.

What?
Politics did it kaya lumipat si Wes..
Walang mararating pag Pinas ang dala?
Torre did it long before Wes was born...
Fisher trained with Torre..

You're too assuming to conclude na walang mararating if Pinas ang dalang flag..tsk tsk

also to add to brad Jabz points, sa chess yung coaches ng mga active competitors do not necessarily have to be "better"

.....else paano na gaya ni Magnus? he's the WC, the reigning best in the world, who can be better than him aside from maybe Fabiano (on his good, no excellent day, maybe) so hindi na siya kukuha ng coaches ganun?

......coaches help the "player" prepare specific openings against a particular opponent, or maybe help improve a seeming "weakness" in the player's game, or maybe just assist in a particular tournament with prepared opening variations for white or black, etc......

Gaya sa boksing, hindi magkakaroon ng pagkakataong mapalaban sa elite boxers kung walang American na magdadala. Thanks for Roach. Hindi naman makakakuha ng magagaling na chess leaders from US na mag aassist kay Wes kung Philippines flag ang dala. Dahil mababa ang tingin nila sa Asians. Pulitika of course ang number one reason. Dami kong nabasa na undefeated pero di sumisikat dahil ayaw labanan ng magagaling at ayaw bigyan ng pagkakataon na mapalaban sa mga great champions. I was playing with Celestino Cain a former NM di ako makanalo sa kanya sobrang galing. However nai share nya sa akin ang problema. Mapulitika rin kahit ang foreign chess competitions.

Nawala na si Wesley sa Top Ten, sana makabawi this year.
1 Carlsen, Magnus 2835
2 Caruana, Fabiano 2828
3 Mamedyarov, Shakhriyar 2817
4 Ding, Liren 2813
5 Giri, Anish 2783
6 Vachier-Lagrave, Maxime 2780
7 Kramnik, Vladimir 2777
8 Anand, Viswanathan 2773
9 Grischuk, Alexander 2771
10 Aronian, Levon 2767
11 So, Wesley 2765

Congratz Wesley for the win in the 1st round. sana magtuloy-tuloy lang ang mga panalo.
