SO GETS SPOT IN ST. LOUIS'S SINQUEFIELD CUP

This was apparently announced today during the live broadcast of the U.S. Junior Championship: Wesley So will get the wildcard spot for the St. Louis leg of the Grand Chess Tour, the Sinquefield Cup.

MVL? Really?
How about one of the up and coming Chinese players?
