Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-15-04  shr0pshire: Mr. Ye is China's highest rated player currently. He is about 43 years old right now, which I don't think he will rise too much in the ratings anymore. However, he is a very strong player, and I hope is a sign of things to come from China.
Jun-17-04  rugged: Yeah, I agree that he has reached his potential. But he helped many famous chinese players, including Xie Jun! He is now training Bu XiangZhi. By the way, he is pretty good with King's Indian.
Jun-17-04  rugged: Let us hope China will produce a 2700+ Super GM soon, any candidates?
Jun-17-04  acirce: <rugged> Well it could be Ye. He has been a stable 2670'er for 4 years and it's certainly not impossible to rise above 2700 even if only temporary. Maybe Bu Xiangzhi otherwise, as he's only 18 and has 2621 today.
Jun-17-04  rugged: <acirce> Bu's progress has been slow. Of course, he does not go to top tournments, and he does not have good mentors. Look at Radjabov, he is now 2670+, several years back, Bu beat him like chicken. But Radjabov is an international star, gets invited everywhere!
Jun-17-04  acirce: <Bu's progress has been slow.> Don't know... lately, yes, a bit, but only three years ago he had 2553 and in the the latest period (Jan-Apr) he increased 21 points. I think he is on his way up slowly but steadily.
Jun-24-04  ychjae: Ye Jiangchuan is being too busy, he do many things in China for chess other than a chess player, so this make his result in FIDE World Chess Championship 2004 isn't well. Anyway, I hope he can do better in the rest of the FIDE World Chess Championship 2004 and rise up his rating.

Feb-04-07  IMDONE4: Ye unfortunately is retired now, and many of the younger Chinese players have had their progress slowed down. However, Wang Hao, Wang Yue, and Hou Yifan are still in their teens, and have very good chances of becoming 2700+ superGMs

Jan-23-08  silvermoon: reportedly, China's first player to reach a rating of 2600.
Nov-20-10  wordfunph: On New Year's Eve 2001, GM Ye Jiangchuan (then rated #26 in the world and who was woman champion Xie Jun's coach) faced 1,004 opponents at once. He won 912, lost 16 and drew 76 in 28 hours and 30 minutes.

happy 50th birthday GM Ye!

Nov-20-11  alexapple: happy 51th birthday GM Ye!
Nov-29-12  Abdel Irada: I see Mr. Ye is a Grünfeld player. I'll have to go through his games with this opening and see how he stacks up against some of the current theory-makers, such as the United Arab Emirates' A R Saleh Salem, who seems to have been invincible in the opening this year.
Sep-29-15  cro777: GM Ye Jiangchuan, currently the head coach of the Chinese team, is participating in the 2015 Chessmasters mixed doubles tournament in Shanghai, China. Each team consists of two players, one male and one female, making alternate moves with no consultation.

Ye Jiangchuan's partner is GM Zhu Chen, a former women's world champion.

Nov-20-17  dumbgai: The comments from 2004 have me a good chuckle. Wondering if China would have a 2700+ rated super GM soon...

  chancho: It is amazing that in a span of 13 years time, China has such a plethora of chess talent.

  alexmagnus: Ye is said to have started playing chess at the age of 17. Unusual for a GM, let alone a player who made it to the top 20 at his peak.
