| dakgootje: Yes, and as his opponent was stronger, it would be logical if he would lose. Only he was performing very good in the tournament AND his team only need 1 point, and as his team mates managed to get only .5 point it was all up to him to draw/win...and he lost...must have been devasted after it. |

| babakova: It is still only a game though, he tried his best and his best wasnt good enough that day. Why dwell on it? I cant imagine say.. Kasparov starting to cry in the same situation, or any top GM for that matter. |
|

| Jim Bartle: I saw some photos of Kasparov after he lost a game to either Lautier or Piket a few years ago. Instead of crying he just walked around the town in a fury, in disbelief. He seemed to be "dwelling on it" quite a bit. |

| acirce: Yes, but on the other hand he handled the loss against Radjabov in Linares really well. |

| babakova: Being angry because of a loss and using it as a motivation to come back and play better is more constructive than sitting down to cry as if the world has come to an end. |

| hitman84: these are team games.
ego's clash often within the team members.
I'm sure he had a serious disagreement with someone in the team before the game. Btw
Ni Hua once had a rating of 2601 without a title. |

| midknightblue: I agree with <babakova>. I also onder if GM Hua is crying after being DQ'ed from Dos Hermanas this year for rules violations. That seems like a better reason to cry. |

| hellopolgar: <Quote: Being angry because of a loss and using it as a motivation to come back and play better is more constructive than sitting down to cry as if the world has come to an end> to <babakova>, first of all, he is playing for a country with a 1.3 billion population. do you have the slightest idea how much pressure he was under? didn't you see the England WHOLE team cry after England was eliminated by Portugal, in this year's (2006) World Cup? second of all, how do you know that he "sat down and cried"? That sounds more like what you imagined he did after you looked at the press picture, (http://www.chessbase.com/news/2005/...) which showed that MR.Ni had his head buried in a sweater held by his own hands. did it ever come to you that maybe, just maybe, the game was so stressful that he was tired and was having, i don't know, a breather? well, according to you sir, that is not the case, MR.NI was definitely crying for his mama because that's what you would do if you were in his shoes, correct? thirdly, what's with the phrase: "as if the world has come to an end"? according to the games listed on chessgames.com, Mr.Ni played 32 games in 2006, the year after he had that terrible loss, and only lost two games(Sergey Grigoriants and Vladimir Akopian), with wins over players like Sergei Movsesian and Baadur Jobava, he is nowhere near "the end of the world". not mentioning the Men's Silver Medal of the Chess Olympiad in Turin. last but not least, what you said to a GM, "<Being angry because of a loss and using it as a motivation to come back and play better is more constructive than sitting down to cry as if the world has come to an end>" is very childish because according to chessgames.com, Mr.NI's overall record is +82 -42 =95, so mathematically speaking, Mr.Ni loses 1 game every 5 games when playing against people roughly at his level. as a professional chess player, as a GM, the number of games he has played is most likely thousands, so i am sure that Mr.Ni can take losses very well or he wouldn't be where he is today, at an age of merely 23. ps, i can't help but wondering, what is YOUR chess rating? what are YOUR achievements? (elementary school 4th grade chess champion? probably not even that). i think you get the point now, think, before you post brainless comments. |

| babakova: <hellopolgar> I still stand by what I said, of course. <ps, i can't help but wondering, what is YOUR chess rating? what are YOUR achievements? (elementary school 4th grade chess champion? probably not even that). i think you get the point now, think, before you post brainless comments.> I am good enough to beat you. |

| hellopolgar: <I am good enough to beat you.> awesome comeback.
and of course you still hold your "opinion", let me quote your exact words, said to a GM, to show the endless wisdom that you possess. <Being angry because of a loss and using it as a motivation to come back and play better is more constructive than sitting down to cry as if the world has come to an end> |

| wordfun: GM Ni Hua is a snub. During 2006 GMA Cup in Paranaque Philippines, I waited for him outside the restroom for a photo and autograph but to my dismay he said to me, "Later after my game is over." What is 10 seconds of spending time with chess fan (patzer) like me? After that incident, I lost respect to this chinese GM. I wish someday that GM Ni Hua will ask for my photo and autograph huh!!! |

 |
| Joshka: <wordfun> ahh don't be too hard on Hua, these guys are grandmasters!..they are playing the moves in their head even as they go take a leak, they don't wanna lose any concentration...don't blame them, they have a lot more going on in their brains than us mere patzers!! |
|

|
| 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. |

| notyetagm: <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.> 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 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/ |

| 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. |

| memento mori: Russian Team Championship
