A Positive Profile of Wesley So in the WaPo
Sometimes the mainstream press covers chess in a positive way, and when it does it deserves kudos. Case in point, this profile of Wesley So in the Washington Post. (HT: Marc Beishon) Be sure to distribute it to your "civilian" friends, so they can see that one can be a basically normal, happy individual and a great chess player - So is only "weird" insofar as he's very dedicated to his craft, and when it comes to high achievers in sports and the arts, and elsewhere, such dedication is the norm, not a sign of eccentricity.
