WANG YUE
(born Mar-12-1987) China

[what is this?]
Wang Yue was born on the 12th of March 1987 in Taiyuan, China. He confirmed his prowess at chess at an early age with his win in the 1998 World Under-12 Championship. He scored 10/12 points at the 37th Chess Olympiad (2006) in Turin, Italy, helping China to second place and winning the fourth-board gold medal in the process. Additional successes were soon to follow, including joint second place at 6th Aeroflot Festival (2007) and joint first at Cappelle la Grande (2007). By July of 2007, Wang had improved his FIDE rating to 2696, the highest ever for a Chinese player. That October he became the first player born in China to cross the 2700-mark.

In his supertournament debut at the Baku Grand Prix (2008), he shared first place with Magnus Carlsen and Vugar Gashimov, scoring +3 =10 -0.

Kibitzer's Corner
< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 7 OF 7 ·  Later Kibitzing >
May-05-08   thordrup: Regardless of the last round result,GM Wang yue gained enough ELO points to reach 2710 level on the next FIDE rating list.And I certainly think he's not going to stop there.He's potential for ~2750.
May-05-08   socnegoti: In China, the most popular board game by far is still "weiqi" (or "go"). The second most popular is probably "xiangqi" (traditional Chinese chess). I think it's still a long way to go for the Chinese to dominate the chess world. But with the massive population of China, they don't need chess to be the most popular to reach the top.
May-05-08   Shockwave: <Quality performance by Wang Yue at the FIDE Grand Prix - the most successful tournament to date by a Chinese male player.

Seeded: 12 out of 14 players
Score: 8/13 (+3, =10, -0)
Final position: =1st
Performance: 2806 (+117) 2nd
Sonneborn-Berger tiebreak: 50.50 2nd

  Red October: he is the next <Wannabe> :)
May-05-08   Ramjet: A rising star :D
May-05-08   ToTheDeath: Congrats Wang!
May-06-08   arnold9: This new guy Wang Yue came out of nowhere and he did good!
May-06-08   ingberg: I really like Wang's style of play. It's so accurate, solid and bold.
May-06-08   digitbo: Can you imagine the huge boost the first place finish this would be for chess in China! fantastico
May-06-08   HangaseK: Exciting tournament it was. I was impressed with Wang Yue who hadn't been in any trouble and was cruising along nicely. He certainly seemed 'up for the challenge'.
May-06-08   jonnymalk: Certainly for sure Wang Yue was the one of the nicest surprises of the tournament.
May-06-08   memento mori: Wang yue had 7 blacks and 6 whites in baku.

For <black>:

Five 1.e4
RL Berlin: 2 (Carlsen, Karjakin)
Petrov: 2 (Radjabov, Bacrot)
Sicilian: 1 (Kamsky)

Two 1.d4
QGD Slav: 2 (Grischuk, Inarkiev)

For <white>:

Six 1.d4
Benoni: 2 (Gashimov, Cheparinov)
Grunfeld: 2 (Navara, Svidler)
Queen's Indian: 1 (Adams)
Nimzo Indian: 1 (Mamedyarov)

May-06-08   sen tenced: Wow, who would have thought that Gashimov and Wang Yue, two of the lowest-rated here, would be tied for First (with Carlsen)?
May-06-08   ingberg: Yeah I was mightily impressed with how solid he played. He's not quite ready for the big boys yet but he's only 21 and has a bright future.
May-06-08   memento mori: Round 1
Carlsen-Wang 1/2
Opening: Ruy Lopez, Berlin Defence
No real difficulty for black – slightly better out of the opening but was slightly worse after the mass exchange with a static pawn structure and a kingside minority.

Round 2
Wang-Gashimov
Opening: Benoni, Fianchetto Variation: 1/2
Always had a slight plus but position got locked

Round 3
Radjabov-Wang
Opening: Petroff, Classical Variation 1/2
In no real trouble but white may have missed some more promising continuations

Round 4
Wang-Cheparinov 1-0
Opening: Modern Benoni, 6.e4
After black made a few inaccuracies, white converted smoothly

Round 5
Karjakin-Wang 0-1
Opening: Berlin Defence, 4...Nxe4
Black equalized fully in the opening and capitalized on a few mistakes by white

May-06-08   memento mori: Round 6
Wang-Navara 1/2
Opening: Grunfeld, 4. Bg5 Taimanov Variation
After gaining a nice advantage in the middlegame White missed a few critical continuations and had to settle for a draw

Round 7
Grischuk-Wang 1/2
Opening: Slav Defence, Chameleon Variation
White got a decent opening after innovative play but faced excellent defence

Round 8
Wang-Adams 1/2
Opening: Queen’s Indian/Nimzo Indian Hybrid Line 4. Nc3 Bb4 5.Bg5 h6 6.Bh4 g5 7.Bg3 Ne4 8.Qc2 Bb7 9.e3 d6 10.Bd3 (Kasparov Variation) Looked as if white was in real trouble after a novelty (15.0-0-0) by Adams, but Wang found some counterplay to secure a quick draw

Round 9
Bacrot-Wang
Opening: Petroff 3.d4 Steinitz Variation
Bacrot got a very good position and Wang yue chose to give up an exchange to prevent being squashed. Fortunately, black played actively to get a draw.

Round 10
Kamsky-Wang 1/2
Opening: Sicilian, Rossolimo Variation
Kamsky chose 3.Bb5 probably because he didn’t want to face a Sveshnikov. Black fully equalized.

May-06-08   memento mori: Round 11
Wang-Svidler 1-0
Opening: Grunfeld, 4. Bg5 Taimanov Variation
Pretty equal early on until Svidler missed a few moves to go down an exchange.

Round 12
Inarkiev-Wang 1/2
Opening: Slav Defense: Chameleon Variation. Advance System Probably Wang Yue’s worst game. Played a couple of dubious moves (Qa5, c5) and was always struggling for a draw until the end.

Round 13
Wang-Mamedyarov
Opening: Nimzo-Indian Defense: Classical Variation. Vitolinsh-Adorjan Gambit. White was never troubled and always had a minute advantage. Wang Yue could have chosen a few sharper lines along the way.

May-06-08   PetShopB: A doubly-impressive performance by Wang Yue - it's his first time at this level of competition, and it's probably been a while since a player won the first supertournament they ever took part in.
May-06-08   Augalv: China may repeat history at M-Tel Masters.
May-07-08   jonnymalk: China is going to have an amazing Olympiad team this November in Dresden
