WANG HAO
(born Aug-04-1989) China

[what is this?]
Wang Hao burst onto the international chess scene in 2005 by winning the Dubai Open. An untitled player at the time of the event, he scored 7 points out of 9 to finish ahead of 53 Grandmasters and 30 International Masters. He followed this victory up with another at the 2005 Malaysian Open, this time with a score of 10/11. His performances in these events, as well as in the Aeroflot Open (2005) A2 group where he scored 6.5/9, provided the three GM norms he needed to earn him the GM title (leap frogging the IM title altogether), and causing his FIDE rating to increase by more than 100 points. At the time of the July 2006 list he was rated 2610, and by September 2010, he became China's second rated player, number 3 in Asia, and world number 22 with a rating of 2724.

Wang Hao took part in the FIDE World Cup (2005), but lost his first-round match against Vladimir Malakhov. He made it to the second round of the World Chess Cup (2007), before succumbing to Ruslan Ponomariov. He fared slightly better in the World Cup (2009), but was defeated in the third round by Shakhriyar Mamedyarov. In 2008, he was won on tiebreak from Hannes Stefansson and Wang Yue in the Reykjavik Open (2008), and came equal second with Borki Predojevic behind Pavel Eljanov in the Bosnia (2009). In 2010, he edged out Bu Xiangzhi and Zhou Jianchao to win the Chinese Championship.

4/5 after 5 rounds. 4 wins and one ugly loss to Svetushkin. Still he's performing to his rating and be interesting to see if he wins it in the end.

  notyetagm: <Don Cossacks: One of the most underrated young players:(>

With his excellent win over the leader Timofeev, Wang Hao probably breaks <2730> and enters the Top 20.

May-13-10   Don Cossacks: That's nice<notyetagm>.In this tournament both Wang and Arty had one loss each and the next round pairings would be decisive to determine the winner.

Bologan-Wang Hao today and Timofeev-Kovacevic,Arty has a lighter assignment than Wang,if Wang draws and Arty won then the Russian GM would be the winner of tournament.Good luck to these guys:D I expect some fireworks.

May-14-10   Don Cossacks: Wang Hao won Bosna Intenational Tournament in tiebreaks ahead of Efimenko,Bologan and Timofeev.Congratulations!
May-14-10   akhc: congrats to wang hao. very sharp games and u get the feeling that his opponents were battered into losing their way in a few of those games. I love his sharp style though that's probably responsible for some of his losses too. would be nice to see him invited to a supertournament or two. wang yue has obviously taken his chances well whereas bu hasn't quite performed when playing in elite company. the question is whether wang hao with his much sharper style will fare well. given his current live rating the invites cannot be that far away?
May-14-10   ChessXin: < Wang Hao won Bosna Intenational Tournament in tiebreaks ahead of Efimenko,Bologan and Timofeev.>

He didn't win by tiebreak. He is the sole winner. The score system of this tournament is 3-1-0. See http://chess-results.com/tnr31622.a...

May-16-10   Don Cossacks: <ChessXin>Thanks.According to the Live Top List, Hao Wang is now 17th in the world with the rating of 2735,6.I hope we see him in Corus B next year.Go China!!
May-16-10   Don Cossacks: I even think that this player is more stronger&talented than the overrated player in this website.

<Danzhou Hainan Super Tournament

Bu Xiangzhi returns on top after round eight

The First Danzhou Hainan Super Tournament is being held from 11th June to 20th June 2010 in Danzhou city, Hainan province, China.

Ten top Chinese Grandmasters compete, with the exception of GM Wang Yue plays Bazna Kings in Romania. The playing format is round robin and the time control will be 90 minutes per player with an incremental time of 30 seconds per move.

Bu Xiangzhi returned to leading position after a brief setback and loss in round seven when Ding Liren and Li Chao b caught him up on the first place tie. But in round eight Bu defeated Zhou Jianchao, while Ding and Li split the point in their match.

<<<The reigning China champion Hao Wang surges ahead after a victory against the only female player - Yifan Hou, this being his third in a row.>>> An opposite example is Ni Hua, who completely dropped out of form, having signed five consecutive losses.>

Excellent!

Wang Hao's style is *much* more attractive than Wang "Draw, Draw, Draw" Yue.

Hopefully Wang Hao will start getting some top invites, like Corus A/B.

Jul-01-10   supertimchan: The new Chinese number one!

  Nightsurfer: The wide-spread training in Chinese Chess that is common among kids in China may be the reason for the success of Chinese players on the stage of mainstream chess these days, at least that is the point that Professor David H. Li from Washingtin DC has made in part II of his interview that has been published by ChessBase.com, please check out http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... , and since there are obvious parallels between Chinese Chess and Western Chess - one striking example is the strange coincidence between Greco's famous matrix of THE GREAT SMOTHERED MATE in Italy way back in 1625 (NN vs Greco, 1625) and a surprising parallel case in Chinese Chess 378 years later in Northern Germany, please compare the synopsis that you find at the end of the feature at http://www.chessbase.de/nachrichten... - , so it is plausible that basic training in Chinese Chess at an early age may help to succeed in mainstream chess later. But it is rather doubtful whether one must go as far as outspoken Professor David H. Li who concludes that Chinese Chess is superior to our mainstream chess, please read "Give up Western Chess ...!", the headline of part I of the (English-language) interview with Professor David H. Li at http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... ! Chess is Chess is Chess - each one of the great versions of chess, be it Chinese XIANGQI or Japanese SHOGI or Thailand's MAKRUK or Myanmar's SITTUYIN, has its specific merits, no one is superior in comparison to the other versions of nowadays chess!
