Wesley So live webcast

At approximately 17:00 CET (11:00 EST) on Tuesday november 28, Wesley So will be our guest in the ChessBase studio.

Update November 28th [Macauley]: Wesley's memory of Corus 2010 was correct, and mine was wrong. The game I was thinking of was indeed So 0-1 Giri, a Petroff in which So was completely winning, but blundered a mate in two in time pressure. He did play Negi in the same tournament, but that was a draw in a Kan — exactly as he recalled! Here are the two games:
