    Yes, the pre-tournament favorite is the only player with 4 - 0 - he's in Sole lead! :D

    Wesley is still perfect through 6 rounds as he just beat Jianchao Zhou moments ago. Quite the spectacular start to his "professional career".

      Wesley has moved to within 4.6 rating points of Nakamura with the 10.5 points garnered with those 6 wins.

      With Tata Steel commencing in 11 days time, Wesley will have every opportunity to go SOaring (for you Vlad) by Naka. Surprisingly, Wesley has never faced Carlsen but is plus one, minus one, and equal three against Caruana. A statistical oddity in this very small sample size is that Wesley is better against those two top seeds (i.e. dead even) than he is against the 2 players at Tata Steel younger than him. He's drawn Yifan Hou the 3 times he's played her but is minus 2 against Giri (2 losses and 3 draws). And Yifan Hou has the best record of the 3 youngest participants since she's plus 2 against Giri (2 wins and 3 draws). It should be a great tournament with her the 13th seed and Chucky the 11th seed (:
