| Joshka: An example: you going to ask a professional boxer for a photo and autograph in between rounds of a professional fight??..while he's taking his 2 minute break in the corner?....or you going to bother a pitcher in a baseball game while he's sitting in the dugout after the 5th inning?..naw professionals need to be respected. After the game then I see nothing wrong with any intervention. |

| WannaBe: <wordfun> I've never taken a picture of players during game, whether he's getting water, going to the bathroom, or even outside w/ me smoking! I hardly ever talk to them, because they may be thinking of the position on the board, (or receiving a transmission from Fritz! etc... :-) I usually take their pics, as they as are setting up the board, or during post-game discussion. I think my only exception was with Walter Browne, he was playing in a simul, and everyone was taking pictures, flash bulbs going off left and right, so I did too. Good luck with your picture taking! And if you get one of Ni, please submit it! |

| notyetagm: Ni Hua has a 2712(!) performance so far this year for the games played only in 2007. That is just 4 points below that of Wonderboy Magnus Carlsen. |
|
| Jun-18-07 |
| you vs yourself: The numbers might say that it's just 4 pts but the difference is much bigger than that. The wonderboy was winning games against Aronian, Topalov, Ivanchuk, Morozevich etc. |

The wonderboy was winning games against Aronian, Topalov, Ivanchuk, Morozevich etc.> True, but one step at a time. Ni Hua needs to get his rating up to the low 2700s and then he will get his chance to play with the Big Boys, just like Sasikiran is doing right now. |

| silvermoon: Ni Hua will compete in the 2008 Gibtelecom Chess Festival beginning tomorrow. 6th edition of Gibraltar's Gibtelecom Chess Festival takes place from 22-31 January 2008 at the Caleta Hotel, one of Gibraltar's best hotels. http://www.gibraltarchesscongress.c... In 2008, the line-up includes four top Chinese players: Wang Yue, rated 2698 and Bu Xiangzhi, rated 2691, Ni Hua, rated 2680, and Wang Hao, rated 2665. In fact, practically the full Chinese squad (which beat Russia and the UK in 2007) is playing in Gibraltar. |

| frogbert: actually, there _is_ a mistake in how fide does rounding of ratings of x,5 in today's official april list. when i had another thorough look, it becomes clear that not only cheparinov's rating has been rounded in a "strange" way, but also that of ni hua: ni 2680: change +23,5 -> april rating 2703 (?)
cheparinov 2713: change -17,5 -> april rating 2695 (?) it looks like someone has tried to do something "smart" regarding how rounding of x,5 ratings are implemented. anyway, the case of ni settles it - there currently is a bug in how the april fide list has been calculated. |

| braimondi: Why dont have a photo of Ni Hua? And he biography?
Go Ni Hua! |
|
| Jan-16-09 |
| MoonlitKnight: Funny that on the front page in the "new games" column his name is misspelled as "Ni Hau", which in Chinese means "how do you do?". Coincidence? |

| dakgootje: I wonder how Ni Hua, being ranked 26th in the January 2009 Fide-list, has not had the honor yet of recieving a photo with biography (no offense ;) Heh, imagine you'd be such a top-ranked player and you'd go to a big chess-site and the only information you could get about yourself is your birthday and nationality :P |

| amadeus: Well, here are a couple of facts, from wikipedia:
Ni Hua (born May 31, 1983 in Shanghai, China). Ni learned to play chess at the age of six, and in February 2003 he became China's 14th Grandmaster. He won the Chinese National Chess Championship three straight times (2006, 2007, 2008), and in January 2009 he took first place in the traditional Reggio Emilia (2008) tournament, scoring +6 -0 =3. * * * * * *
As for pictures, there is a message in the Reggio Emilia's page: <Jan-05-09 plimko: We have 57 photos about tournament of Reggio Emilia, won by Ni Hua,here: http://www.scacchierando.net/dblog/...If you need some photos, you can find the gallery also on flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/340203... > I think CG could use this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/340203... |

| percyblakeney: A bit unnoticed, Ni Hua has been climbing a lot on the rating list lately. On the live rating he is now ahead of players like Kamsky and Karjakin, and only 22 points behind Ivanchuk. |
|
| May-20-09 |
| hoofhearted: Ni Hua is a relative late bloomer and will have 2 tournaments coming up this year at the Canadian Open in July and the London Classic in December |
