Van Foreest shocks So but American hits back
Dutch destroyer
Wesley So in a start to the knockouts that came full of fire.
The 22-year-old threw everything at his American opponent and inflicted a crushing 19-move win over him in Game 2.
But it was not enough to take the lead as the super-solid So hit back and then kept Van Foreest at bay in the final game - just - to escape Day 1 with a 2-2 draw.
Van Foreest and So will go into battle again with everything resting on a one-match shootout and tiebreaks if necessary.
So said afterwards: It was really a very bad day for me, or maybe Jorden just played really very well.
