I am a filipino, we now that Wesley So is a filipino . . . yes he became no. 2 FIDE, but can he be a world champion? ... from analyst from GM's, he can . . .  pero para sa akin di niya kaya . . . .

With MC leaving the cycle, everyone in the top 5 have a chance.

I think he can. Normally the Candidates Winning Score is 8.5/14.

So that is 3W-11D-0L which is not surprising for Wesley. He knows how to maintain drawish positions. His problem is stamina. He tends to collapse on the 2nd week hence his bad performance every World Cup

So could become WC - he's a Marvinellous player.

of course he can, as long as magnus stays on his decision not to join wcc matches. ding is the current champion right? still no one is aware for real.. wesley can be the next and follow ding's path.

if someone really wants to be a true world champion, then magnus should be defeated. otherwise it will just stay on papers.

This is dumb. Nobody can bear a player who refuses to play, no matter what.

A similarly dumb statement would be: Magnus is not a true world champion until he beats Mprphy, Steinitz and Lasker.

Unfortunately, all of these champions passed away so he can never be able to play them...
