Jan-02-08 | | pawnofdoom: Another one of the rising stars in the US. I believe he is 12 or so. Maybe 11. But he is at the top of the rating list int he US for his age! |
|
Jan-02-08 | | whiskeyrebel: I've sat next to him during a couple tournament rounds. He sat on a phone book..or something. This kid's going places. |
|
Jan-06-08 | | pawnofdoom: Oh wait I am mistaken. He is only 10 and he's #1 in the US for quick chess out of players under 13! |
|
Jan-06-08 | | Jim Bartle: He appears to be evolving quickly, then. |
|
Jan-06-08 | | Udit Narayan: <Jim Bartle> LOL! |

May-30-12 | | notyetagm: TAKEN D. Yang vs Robson Saint Louis Invitational 2011 33 ... Rd1xBe1! 0-1 destroys White e1-bishop defender of White f2-queen ATTACKED D.Yang vs Mogranzini Spice Cup Group B 2011 60 Rh6-h4?? f7-f6+! 0-1 attacks White g5-king defender, vacates f7-sq for rtg ... Be6-f7+ THE UNDERRATED REMOVAL OF THE GUARD
NM Dan Heisman: The logic a guarded piece is not really guarded if the guard can be attacked (60 ... f7-f6+! 0-1) or taken (33 ... Rc1xBe1! 0-1) is not really emphasized in beginner's books. |

|
Jun-16-12 | | poorpatzer: He's on the Denker list, if he isn't too good to play he ought to sweep: http://www.denkerchess.com/ |

Mar-17-14 | | waustad: He's on the list for the GM title decision for FIDE: http://ratings.fide.com/title_appli... It doesn't look like he'll be over 2500 by then though it should be very close (Oklahoma gain: http://ratings.fide.com/individual_...), though he lost some rating at the UT Dallas Spring Open and didn't have a good start that could have possibly taken him over the threshhold. He's been just under 2500 for about 2 years, so it's likely he gets there soon at his age. He should be ready to start college soon, so I'm sure the top teams are courting him. |

Dec-05-14 | | Rookiepawn: <FSR: It's too bad that Yang has never played Hao Yin.> Do you think so? I guess all their games would be draws. |
