May-14-10 Hao Wang
| |
| akhc: congrats to wang hao. very sharp games and u get the feeling that his opponents were battered into losing their way in a few of those games. I love his sharp style though that's probably responsible for some of his losses too. would be nice to see him invited to a supertournament or ... |

Apr-11-10 Yifan Hou
| |
| akhc: and she's obliterating (well nearly) all at the KL open. after 8 rounds she's scored 7 (+6 =2) and is a full point clear of second. a draw in the last round will mean an outright win. she's also picked up some quite a few rating points. she'll be in the mid 2580s after this tournament ... |

Nov-29-08 Yue Wang
| |
| akhc: <arkansaw: actually, is he really that strong or most of his opponents are not trying hard enough to force a decisive result?> I don't think it's because his opponents are not trying. When he played at Baku he was rated below 2700 and was in fact pick for the GP series. I suspect |
