Jan-02-08    pawnofdoom: Another one of the rising stars in the US. I believe he is 12 or so. Maybe 11. But he is at the top of the rating list int he US for his age! Jan-02-08    whiskeyrebel: I've sat next to him during a couple tournament rounds. He sat on a phone book..or something. This kid's going places. Jan-06-08    pawnofdoom: Oh wait I am mistaken. He is only 10 and he's #1 in the US for quick chess out of players under 13! Jan-06-08    Jim Bartle: He appears to be evolving quickly, then. Jan-06-08    Udit Narayan: <Jim Bartle> LOL! Jan-06-08    Jim Bartle: Thanks, but really it was just a natural selection. Jan-06-08    whiskeyrebel: Ohhhh, now I get it.

Be6-f7+ THE UNDERRATED REMOVAL OF THE GUARD NM Dan Heisman: The logic a guarded piece is not really guarded if the guard can be attacked (60 ... f7-f6+! 0-1) or taken (33 ... Rc1xBe1! 0-1) is not really emphasized in beginner's books. Jun-03-12    FSR: It's too bad that Yang has never played Hao Yin. Jun-16-12    poorpatzer: He's on the Denker list, if he isn't too good to play he ought to sweep: http://www.denkerchess.com/
