Αν και την προηγούμενη ημέρα ο Garry είχε τον νεαρό W. So στα σχοινιά (χωρίς να του δώσει το τελειωτικό χτύπημα), στο χθεσινό πρώτο γύρο του blitz, o So απάντησε με μία εμφατική νίκη!
A game that I liked (ChessBase 12)

1. Nf3 g6 2. e4 Bg7 3. d4 d6 4. c4 Bg4 $5 {Garry doesn't go for his favourite
King's Indian.} 5. Be2 Nc6 6. Nbd2 $5 {A very interesting move. The d4 pawn is
taboo.} e5 7. d5 Nce7 8. h3 Bd7 9. c5 $1 {Way to go! That's the first pawn
sacrifice.} dxc5 10. Nc4 $1 {Attacking the e5 pawn.} f6 {A very ugly move but
necessary.} 11. d6 $1 Nc8 12. Be3 b6 13. O-O Bc6 14. dxc7 Qxc7 15. b4 $1 {
Pawns don't really matter for Wesley in this game!} cxb4 16. Rc1 Nge7 17. Qb3
$1 {Look at the White pieces. So co-ordinated! And the black king is
completely stranded.} h6 {A completely atypical move for Garry. But he just
couldn't come up with a move.} 18. Rfd1 b5 19. Ncxe5 $1 {Two pawns and now a
knight!} fxe5 20. Bxb5 Rb8 21. Ba4 $3 {A very hard move to make in blitz,
keeping all the threats alive.} Qb7 22. Rxc6 $1 Nxc6 23. Qe6+ N8e7 24. Bc5 Rc8
25. Bxe7 {What a power packed game by Wesley. To beat Garry in this manner is
highly commendable.} 1-0
