Jan-02-08   silvermoon: Ni Hua is currently competing in the 50th "Torneo di Capodanno" in Reggio Emilia.

This is taking place from December 29th, 2007, to January 6th, 2008.

http://www.ippogrifoscacchi.it/

Jan-22-08   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.

Apr-01-08   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.

Apr-13-08   memento mori: Russian Team Championship

April fide rating: 2704
Points gained: +5
New rating: 2709

Performance rating: 2735 (+21)

  Wild Bill: Congratulations to the reigning Chinese national champion on his victory running away from the field in Reggio Emilia this week.

Check out Ni's game against Almasi. That is a real fight.

Jan-04-09   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...

Jan-17-09   Ladolcevita: Nihua is the captain of chinese national team,seemingly he is a popular guy

  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

  OhioChessFan: I am a little surprised no pic and no bio and only 2 pages of kibitzing. What an overlooked player.
Aug-12-09   Archerforthelord: he's a cheater
Aug-28-09   Mate Hunter: Yeah, Ni Hua REALLY is an overlooked player. Some of his games are amazingly beautiful.
Sep-17-09   jon01: Ni Hua is currently causing a scene with double participation in the World Cup (Nov 20 - Dec 15) and in London Chess Classic (Dec 7 - Dec 15).
Oct-15-09   jonny12: I wonder how he can play in both and what the organizers of London are thinking about it.
Oct-17-09   Ramjet: <jonny12: I wonder how he can play in both and what the organizers of London are thinking about it.>

they're thinking... "wow, this guy just loves chess!"

Oct-18-09   smalldreams: <he's a cheater> Where on earth did that come from?
