  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...

  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?

  mysql: Is Ni Hua on a slump? Why did his FIDE rating drop so much?

What are his chances of winning the London chess classic?

Dec-05-09   migenti: he's also playing in Italy and the Netherlands according to http://blog.sina.com.cn/chessnews
Dec-05-09   kurtrichards: <What are his chances of winning the London chess classic?> Preparation, focus and determination. If Ni Hua got all that then he has a good chance of winning the London Classic. :)
