Aug-16-15 | | Caissanist: There are, confusingly, two different Andrew Tangs who are US juniors. There is a nine year old who is rated 1493, but that's not the same guy as the person drawing and defeating 2400 players in the games given above. Those are from a 16 year-old of the same name who is himself rated 2475. |

Jun-13-17 | | waustad: He is doing quite well in Medallin in the Continental Championships. A GM norm watch seems in order, since he's playing his third GM now and has a tpr over 2600 so far. |

Jun-15-17 | | waustad: The FIDE site has him with 2 GM norms already, though I don't know what all the data in the boxes mean. One is clearly a 9 game norm, but the one for the N A Junior Championship from Kitchner, Canada looks different from others I've seen on the site, so I don't know how many games it is worth. He could get up to an 11 round norm in Medallin, but he may only need 9. As of now he's playing in round 8 and is still over 2600 tpr. |

Jun-16-17 | | waustad: <sonia91> Thanks. A draw against Axel Bachmann tomorrow would then be enough to get him to the point where he would just need a rating over 2500 live and some red tape and fees to get the title. |

Jul-06-19 | | tonsillolith: It looks like Tang has reached a higher bullet rating on Chess.com and/or Lichess than both Carlsen and Nakamura. Even if you don't give much weight to such fast time controls, that's still quite an achievement! He goes under the pseudonym <penguingim1>. |

Jul-12-19 | | tonsillolith: <zborris8> It's possible I got something wrong, but I'm certain that Tang's Lichess rating had broken 3200 when I looked at it. I thought I read something too. Apologies, if only I could undo undue sensationalism. |
|
Dec-01-20 | | Caissanist: He is in fact currently the top bullet player on chess.com, with a rating of 3470 (Naka is third with 3415, Carlsen fifth with 3350). He has some pretty wild gyrations though--just three months ago his bullet rating was 2989. |

 | | perfidious: One would imagine there are tremendous fluctuations, depending on the volume put in by a player. A wee slump and whoosh go 2-300 points. |
|
Aug-07-23 | | EvanTheTerrible: Andrew Tang has earned a spot in the 2023 U.S. Championship by way of winning the U.S. Open Championship. |
