 | | HeMateMe: He wonders why drunks sing his name on New Years Eve? |
|
Jun-02-16 | | waustad: Even after his loss today to Lenderman, his tpr is 2609. He's played more than enough GMs, so he's still on the path to a GM norm. |
|
Jul-11-16 | | Luceana: Awonder is a nice kid, and strong player. Although his father is a loudmouth, and a piece of work. Hopefully the father doesn't turn into another Rustam Kamsky, that tries to dominate over the boy. |
|
Jul-17-16 | | LucB: He came in clear second today at the 2016 US junior closed championship. A fine performance by the youngest player of the group. |
|
Jul-17-16 | | fisayo123: I saw all the games live. Really impressive chess from the young phenemonem. |
|
May-31-17 | | cro777: By earning his third and final GM norm at the Chicago Open 2017, Awonder becomes the 2nd youngest American chess grandmaster in history, at 14 years, 1 month, and 20 days. The 26th Annual Chicago Open was held May 25-29, 2017 in Wheeling, Illinois. In 2015 Awonder became the youngest US international master in history. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBHJQDa... |

|
Jun-01-17 | | waustad: Congratulations! There is still some paperwork to do. He still only has one norm listed on the FIDE web site. That often means that they haven't yet filed the paperwork and paid the fee. FIDE jerked Ju Wenjun around for over a year over one signature by a FIDE official if I recall the details correctly. Let's hope that they get through the bureaucracy more rapidly. |

|
Aug-10-17 | | cro777: It's now confirmed - Awonder becomes youngest grandmaster in the world! "In the second presidential board meeting of 2017, FIDE confirmed Awonder Liang's grandmaster title. This makes the 14-year-old American the 10th youngest grandmaster of all time, and the youngest in the world today." https://www.chess.com/news/view/awo... |

Apr-01-19 | | Pulo y Gata: Awonder made history in that game. It was the very first time a 2700 player was pulverised by a 15-year old boy in standard chess. |
