Mar-13-08    chessmoron: Congrats to Wang Hao and his great win against Caruana. Congrats Hannes Stefansson, and Wang Yue Mar-13-08    dumbgai: A great recovery by Wang Yue, who lost in the first round to a 2300 FM. Mar-13-08    pawnofdoom: Wang Yue will lose a few points, but Wang Hao is just getting closer and closer to 2700 Mar-13-08    chessmoron: Actually Wang Yue will gain a tiny 2.1 points since he score 6 wins. Mar-13-08    playerXchess: I don't think rating points will be such a big deal for him. He's probably about 8 points down from January. He can forget this one, and start focusing on the 2-year long Grand Prix Series - which really matters.
