| Mar-31-19 | | wordfunph: 2019 U.S. Championship
So - Liang
0-1
i love you, Liang! |
|
| 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. |

 | | chancho: Ten years ago, Awonder Liang was about five years old and taking his first steps at learning the game of Chess. Ten years ago, Wesley So, 14 years old, youngest GM at the time, playing in the World Cup. <“How did it get so late so soon?”

 | | OhioChessFan: Crossed 2500 in November 2016, at 13YO. 4 years later, he has only been at 2600 one rating list, in May of 2019. There's time left to reach Super GM level, but the recent trend isn't promising. |
|
| Apr-11-21 | | 0ZeR0: Awonder Liang played a nice game recently against Azerbaijani IM/WGM Gunay Mammadzada in the Polgar Challenge tournament of the Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour going on now. A link to an analysis of the game:

| Apr-11-21 | | macer75: <0ZeR0: Awonder Liang played a nice game recently against Azerbaijani IM/WGM Gunay Mammadzada in the Polgar Challenge tournament of the Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour going on now.> What the @#$% is that tournament? |
|
| Apr-11-21 | | 0ZeR0: The Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour is a group of tournaments that highlights talented youngsters in chess right now. In the Polgar Challenge (the first tourney in the tour), Judit Polgar had a team of youngsters and Vladimir Kramnik had a team of youngsters. It was ultimately won by Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa of team Kramnik. |

 | | MissScarlett: <The Julius Baer Challengers Chess Tour is a group of tournaments that highlights talented youngsters in chess right now.> It seems to have particularly highlighted the talented male youngsters. I confess to not wholly grasping the team nature of this event, given that it's an all-play-all format and the winner takes it all. |
|
| Apr-13-21 | | 0ZeR0: <MissScarlett> I thought perhaps it was because Polgar and Kramnik selected the individuals for their teams, but maybe that's incorrect. |
|
Apr-13-21
| | MissScarlett: The event and the tour was obviously thrown together at short notice, so let's not overthink it. |

 | | Check It Out: The boy Awonder is 21?! Time flies. He finished 3rd in the 2023 US Championship. |
|
| Apr-09-24 | | Nosnibor: His name reminds me of an old American singer named Del Shannon whose first big hit in 1961 was "Runaway". In part of the song he signs "Has I walk along I wonder". |
|
Jul-16-24
 | | FSR: Liang loses to IM Sam Schmakel in third round, but wins his other eight games to win World Open by a full point. https://new.uschess.org/news/liang-... https://chessevents.com/event/world... |
