By the way: if you have corrections to submit, use the link below the kibitzing area <Spot an error? Please suggest your correction ...> This ensures that an administrator will review the situation in a timely fashion (we do not, as a rule, read every page of kibitzing). Also, this procedure prevents the inevitable confusion stemming from people discussing errors that have already been corrected. We take exception to this policy when a discussion is actually necessary in order to resolve the error; but for obvious name misattributions and so forth, the correction slip is the best way to go.

Many more great pics at the website.

Wow, how many ELO points is he going to gain from this superlative performance?

There's a Nikita Smirnov from Sweden with a 1318 rating who scored 4/9 and reached place 151 (though being seeded 195!). A great performance for sure and he'll probably gaining a lot of points!

Official commentator Jesper Hall noted that the chinese calculated incredibly fast and accurate when playing. I think he mainly thought of Wang Hao and Li Chao then.

I've been saying that for two years now: China will become a dominant chess power like Russia.

no, no, nope!!!!

Considering that the top talent among the young usually gets into GO and Chinese chess instead of chess... I'd say they have a lot of potential to be the most dominant nation.
