| notyetagm: 8th Asian Continental Chess Championship (2009)/Yangyi Yu http://reports.chessdom.com/news-20... <<<<Third place was for another Chinese, the untitled Yu Yangyi (CHN, 2433), who managed to defeat GM Nguyen Anh Dung, GM Bui Vinh, GM Megaranto Susanto, GM Eugenio Torre and most amazingly the top seeded player of the event GM Krishnan Sasikiran.>>> Adding the draws against GM Wesley So, GM Ghaem Maghami, GM Yu Shaoteng, and GM Abhijit Kunte, converted the fantastic performance of Yu Yangyi into a bronze medal. Yu Yangyi is a player most of Chessdom readers have probably not heard of. He is born in 1994 and his first records of official games are at age U10. <<<In the period April 2005 - January 2007 he plays no rated games and since then he has a total of 68 rated games with ELO increase of 228 points (close to 4 points per game).>>> In Asia his rank U16 is 8th.> Egads! |

| BigBangDistantEcho: Watch out Anish Giri and Wesley So, you have company!!!
Hou Yi Fan is playfully kibitzing from the background!
Viktor "the Terrible" Korchnoi would love to give these youngsters a beating, in longevity, not on the chessboard... |

| hellopolgar: this kid is talented! and i have a feeling that we will see a lot more brilliant 13~15 year old Magnus Carlsen's from China in the near future. |

| notyetagm: <CG.COM> Please update the player profile for rapidly rising Chinese star Yangyi Yu. According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...) he *won* the World U10 title in 2004. Your bio shows him only finishing 2nd in 2003. Thanks |
|

|
| notyetagm: Wow, so it looks like Yangyi Yu was 2nd to Sugirov in the U10 Category at the 2003 World Youth Championships and then won U10 the very next year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_... |

| hellopolgar: all of those U** titles/youngest GM in history/etc. mean nothing to be honest, a lot of athletes in China(and other countries i suppose?) fake their age. |
|
| May-28-09 |
| hellopolgar: actually my roommate(who is chinese) used to play for the chinese super league (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chines...) and the chinese U13 national team, and he said he had 3 identification cards showing 3 different ages for different situations. |

| Ladolcevita: <hellopolgar>
Really??Could it be because he is jealous??
I'm not sure,but I tend to believe them "_" |
|
| May-28-09 |
| Ladolcevita: BTW,I wanna fake my age really!!!I dont wanna grow up......... |

| wordfunph: After 6th round, future superstar Yu Yangyi with a jaw-dropping 2719 TPR, way above his current rating of 2433 whoa! http://www.chess-results.com/tnr223... |
|
| May-28-09 |
| hellopolgar: <Ladolcevita> you are chinese, you should know. no need to play the "wow, really?" innocent card. <...
In 2006, a senior CBA official admitted that past youth squads had included players above the permitted age,[58] and Yi's longtime American teammate in China, Jason Dixon, said to Chad Ford that Yi was "21 or 22...It's pretty common over [in China] to change ages".[59] In 2007, a Chinese government registration site made public by hackers showed Yi's date of birth as being in 1984,[60] and in December 2008, a Chinese reporter discovered school registration forms that listed Yi as being born in 1984.[61]> quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi_Jia... |

| hellopolgar: either way, age means nothing, when kasparov was number 1, no one cared about how old he was. how early one blooms is unimportant, it's how long one keeps blooming and how high one can reach that actually matters. |
|

| Ladolcevita: <hellopolgar>
I'm sorry,but this point really surprises me,its only the second time,the first time I saw it was yesterday,on a Chinese Chess Tournament Live Comment Page...an IP said Yifan's age was faked,and he/she didnt say any proof though...but sounded like a cynic....And yeah,I heard about those news before,but its something like,you know, Basketball,Gymnastics,which never reminded me of CHESS!!So I'm obviously surprised,and you shouldnt doubt this,ok? |
|
| May-28-09 |
| Ladolcevita: <hellopolgar>
I'm sorry,but the young geniuses doesnt care how you look upon them.And they never mention their ages,it is you that think too much. |
|
| May-28-09 |
| Ladolcevita: <BTW>
I'm not playing the so-called innocent card.I am me myself,and there are so many chinese people,Should I be ashamed or concerned or playing some funny cards for anybody of them?Certainly,its impossible! |
|
| May-28-09 |
| Ladolcevita: <Ok,I'm getting foolish again,to speak on==>
HMMM...I have to inform you that,China and Chinese people nowadays,are living freely,only Korean people like to win the fake pride.At least,I am lazy to impress or flatter others,I have more important thing to be busy with.Hehe. |
|

 |
| SugarDom: Yes, Yifan's age was faked...She's actually only 12, that makes her the world's youngest GM beating even Karjakin... :) |

| wordfunph: Interesting match in the last round:
Yu Yangyi (2433) - GM Mark Paragua (2529)
These two players are my favorites...i hope both players will win huh! |
|
May-31-09
|
| wordfunph: Yu-Paragua ended on the 72nd move with only two Kings left on the board.... indeed a bloody game of chess! |
|
| May-31-09 |
| Ladolcevita: <Congrats>
YuYangyi has got all the GM norms,so that when his rating rise over 2500,he would automatically become a Grandmaster! |
|
| May-31-09 |
| RuyLupit: Yu Yangyi is definitely GM material. Congratulations to this young chess whiz! |
