Nanaig ang 28 anyos na si So sa playoff tiebreak laban kina GM Fabiano Caruana at GM Sam Sevian na kapwa natalo sa isang rapid playoff.

“I just wanted to play fast today and make some good moves. I was playing with no pressure. I did not expect this playoff, so I was just playing chess. If chances come, good. If I lose, that’s fine,” ,” sabi ni So sa panayam ng chess.com.
