Wesley So loses his second game
I think fatique has finally hit Wesley So as he practically played non stop since his big win in Dubai.
He lost yet another game as White and this time to China’s Li Chao.
In this position White to move.
Wesley played Re2 ? which was a mistake.
Li Chao replied with Bb5 and the Black bishop cannot be captured because of the back rank mate.
Play continued
24. b3 Bxc4 25. bxc4 Ra3 26. Qd5 Qa7 27. Qxd6
b3 28. Qd7 Qa8 0-1
Final position. White resigns
