  acirce: Well, at least it was closer than I would have expected. Good match.
Aug-28-08   Strafe: I was surprised Sweden didn't win a gold medal. Anyways that Persson match was good'un, best in the men's singles.

Unfortunately Wang Hao didn't qualify for the final Tal Memorial blitz. He came in 16th place and didn't even score a draw once! (+10 =0 -8)

Zhou Jianchao came in 22nd and Ni Hua 28th.

Sep-20-08   zoren: Anyone else feel like his chess is more active and more aggressive than the solid Wang Yue?

Yes, if Wang Yue is Kramnik, then Wang Hao is Topalov.

  notyetagm: And is it just me or is Wang Hao making the transition from 1 e2-e4 to 1 d2-d4 player?
Jan-03-09   builttospill: I like that Wang Hao plays the french at the highest level. Anyone else notice that people that play the french often have a unique style? He's a player to watch for sure.
Mar-30-09   mikeddot: I think wang hao and ni hua will play at the russian team championships in sochi in april.

last year's Russian Team Championship (2008)

  veigaman: Long time without hearing from him, in my opinion, a candidate to be reach the worldchampion contender.

An extraordinary talent!

Time will say!

Apr-21-09   mikeddot: wang hao and other juniors are at the chinese zonal qualification for the world cup (results, live games, photos, http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_5d15...
May-14-09   ex0duz: He's off to a dismal +0-2=4 start in the Bosnia (2009) tournament..

Anyone know what's up with him? It seem's that he's stalled in going over the 2700 mark, unlike Ni Hua, Wang Yue, Bu Xiangzhi etc.. i thought he had the most promise too. Perhaps he needs to change his style from overly aggressive to a more solid, patient and consistent positional style. I think Ni Hua has already done this somewhat. But yeah, Hao is the youngest/strongest out of all these new generation of chinese players right? Not including Li Chao B, who also shows a lot of promise.

<Daily Update: Wang Hao Leading Chinese Championship; Ivanchuk Continues to Lead his Match

<<<After five rounds of the Chinese Championship, Wang Hao leads with a very impressive 4½ points and a 2997 TPR.>>> All but two players are GMs, but it surprised me that in such a strong chess country there would be any non-GMs participating. The joke is on me and those like me, apparently, because one of the non-GMs, Ding Liren, is currently in clear second with 3½ points and the other, Ji Dan, is tied for third with 3. (More info here and here.)>

From the results at TWIC it looks like Wang Hao is also making the jump from 1 e2-e4 to 1 d2-d4.

Round 2 (May 27, 2009)
Wang Hao - Ni Hua 1-0 28 <D17 Slav Defence>

Round 4 (May 29, 2009)
Wang Hao - Zhou Weiqi 1-0 25 <D24 QGA>

A miniature over Zhou Weigi and a near-miniature (28 moves) over Ni Hua!

  notyetagm: Next victim for Wang Hao: Zhou Jianchao.

http://chess-results.com/tnr22320.a...

Jun-02-09   jon01: Wang Hao has now 6,5/7 and a performance rating 3043! He beat Zhou Jianchao today.
Jun-02-09   sallom89: This Wang Hao is dominating the tournament, and another Wang Hao is dominating table tennis :o
Jun-02-09   Ecplecticos: His ELO numbers belie the tensile strength he currently possess as a chessplayer. These Trio of Wang Yue, Bu XiangXi, and Wang Hao are the cream of their many talented chessplayers.

The year was 1974 when all these plans were hatch and put into action - now reaping dividends and success, for the same chess program implemented and started, that year. Their Female chessplayers are no pushovers, either.

Aug-11-09   akhc: Congrats to Wang Hao for achieving a live ELO rating of 2701. :) Hope he goes from strength to strength!
Aug-11-09   Dredge Rivers: Hao do you do! :)
Nov-24-09   dumbgai: <sallom89: This Wang Hao is dominating the tournament, and another Wang Hao is dominating table tennis :o>

The other Wang Hao has a mean reverse-penhold backhand. Meanwhile this Wang Hao plays a mean Sicilian.

  veigaman: This player is an special talent, nice to see you playing again. I still remember when burst into the chess scene winning a tournament without having any international title.

Tic toc, i´m wang hao, can i get into the elite? :)

Dec-19-09   mikeddot: interesting to see Wang Hao move up in the national Elo rankings to 2nd board at the World Team Championship . http://blog.sina.com.cn/chessnews
