| May-22-09 | | zanshin: <Boomie: Another point of 29...Rf6 is it blocks the white queen along the h4-d8 diagonal. Nxh3 becomes a threat and forces 30. Qd7 to defend.> <Boomie> Good point! <visayanbraindoctor> Thanks for your comments to <tim> and myself. I pretty much agree with them. I wish we could emulate the Chinese model, but I don't see it happening. They have always been more willing than us to allocate resources to sports development. I'll cross-post <NM Glenn>'s forum - hopefully he can comment because many of the chess players you cited were his contemporaries. Thanks again. |

| May-22-09 | | BigBangDistantEcho: Young Chinese GM stamps class in Subic chessfest
THIS 15-year-old girl is competing, as she puts it, “for the experience” in the open division of the 8th Asian Continental Championship at the Subic Bay Free Port. But grandmaster Hou Yifan of China is in a group of 12 players—which includes Filipino GM Joey Antonio and international master Richard Bitoon—just half-a-point behind the four leaders after Sunday’s fifth round. That could mean trouble for the men’s against Hou, who was second in the 2008 world’s women’s chess championship, as Bitoon found out Sunday. Bitoon, playing black in a Sicilian Defense, was on the ropes against Hou, but in time trouble the advantage shifted to Bitoon’s side. Hou dug in despite having a bishop against a rook in a queen endgame and the game ended in a draw in 80 moves. “She is friendly, with a smile on her face,” said Bitoon of his 5’5” rival in a phone interview with Standard Today. “But she is malupit [accurate] and has an all-around style.” Her first Filipino victim was national master Edgardo Garma who did not survive the opening. “He [Garma] made a mistake and it was exploited quickly,” said Bitoon. In answers to e-mailed questions given to her by Standard Today through FIDE deputy president for Asia Toti Abundo, Hou said the tournament has made a good impression on her. “Fresh air, good environment. This has been an excellent tournament. Hopefully chess will have a bright future in the Philippines.” The tournament selects the Top 10 regional qualifiers to the next stage of the championship. Hou, having finished second in the 2008 women’s championship, has earned her ticket and is playing in the open division for experience. Chinese chess officials are pinning her hopes that Hou will be a superstar. The daughter of a magistrate and a former nurse, Hou became the youngest woman to become a grandmaster at 14 years and six months in 2008. Hou said she goes to a regular school, but stays with the national team in Beijing. One of her coaches said Hou has all the qualities to become the world’s top woman chessplayer, a distinction held by Judit Polgar of Hungary for nearly a decade. |

| May-23-09 | | timhortons: Corus B which Caruana conquered last year has much stronger set of player than what Wesley faced here. I hope team Wesley So could go back to the drawing board and check if there's something wrong somewhere . Plug the leak and ligate the bleeder. |
|
| May-23-09 | | BigBangDistantEcho: A thorough re-evaluation, re-assessment, game plan focus,
and a better perspective of things to come...
Spice Cup and WJCC, if he has plans of competing in Mar Del Plata, Argentina by September - October, I believe. |

10 GM Sasikiran Krishnan IND 2682 7,0 2528 2536>thanks for the updates. I think untitled player Yu Yangyi is the surprise qualifier! He's born in only 1994! wow |
|
| May-23-09 | | timhortons: GM Ganguly cheers for the win.
I meet this man few years ago in a tourney here in montreal and i still had my personal photo of him. Well deserve win.
Cheers again,I hope you enjoy your stay in Subic Philippines.It's one of the cleanest and orderly city in the Philippines. |
|
| May-23-09 | | Ladolcevita: <migenti>
Yep,he is a genius too!
He is the youngest ChessAssociationMaster(9years old plus 4months)in China,and he won the world junior chess championship Under10 in 2004 in Greece. |
|
| May-23-09 | | Eyal: Wow, Yu Yangyi's rating is 2433 and his performance rating was close to 2700 (http://www.chess-results.com/tnr219...). I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more about him. Btw, I've checked it with CG and the reason the cross-table (8th Asian Continental Chess Championship (2009)) here appears so confused is that the official site didn't make any distinction in their PGNs between the main event and the Women's Championship, so this page includes the games from both events. For a more orderly picture, you can look up http://www.chess-results.com/tnr219... |
|
| May-23-09 | | BigBangDistantEcho: Tim, GM Ganguly is GM Mark Paragua's tormentor/sorcerer on the chessboard. He seemed to weave his magical chess plays with him, casting a spell that will not go away, in their professional duel. Laughs. Personally,I believe he is good guy, like K. Sasikiran. |
|
| May-23-09 | | YifanFan: <Ladolcevita: <BTW>
If Yifan didnt lose to WanYunguo (who is not a strong player actually) in the first round,she could be No.1~~> Hopefully you are right, but it is not necessarily so. Had she won her first round game she would have had a different draw. She may have scored better, or maybe not. |
|
| May-23-09 | | rjsolcruz: re: So - Le. The Rossolimo Sicilian employed by So was also used in drawing with Shirov in the last Olympiad, if I am not mistaken. Does it indicate that Wesley is going for a draw? And will 7 points, if he got the draw in this game, earn him a ticket to the World Cup? |
|
| May-24-09 | | Ladolcevita: <YifanFan>So this is Swiss??Yeah...then its totally different... |
|
| May-26-09 | | brucejavier: is she past the 2600 ELO MARK??? considering her strong performance in the Asian Continental Chess Championship?? |
|
| May-27-09 | | Open Defence: cross table has Ganguly at 8/11 and Zhang Xiaowen at 9/11 some missing games perhaps ? but if this is a swiss.... |
|
| May-27-09 | | Eyal: <Deffi> See my post above - they've mixed up two tournaments here... Zhang Xiaowen is the winner of the Women championship. |
|
| May-27-09 | | Open Defence: thanks <Eyal>>, I usually read through your posts carefully but this time I totally missed that part on the PGNs |
