Chess Trivia
We all know Illya Nyzhnyk now.But have you heard about GM Zherebukh, Yaroslav? You are excused if you haven't. He is a 15 year old from the Ukraine. Another young teenager on a Pogo stick, jumping over his seniors. Currently rated 2558. He's played other contemporary and famous prodigies such as Anish Giri and Illya Nyzhnyk and drawing them mostly. He's also beaten and drawn some GMs and played in the Ukranian Championship Finals
Looking at the recent trend, we expect Li Chao B to move rapidly towards the 2700 mark. You can't count out Hou Yifan of course, but it may take her a while to get there. Zhou Jianchao is also in the race and is also young and raring to go. Russia and Ukraine are way ahead of the others in the top countries list. If you are looking for some untitled talent, there is a 16 year old named Rui Gao now rated 2500! And guess what? Although Rui faced some rating correction in the last rating period, there were astounding jumps of 259 and 135 in two 3 month rating periods!!
Noting that China now has 4 players over 2700. Any idea why Hans Arild Runde does not have Wang Hao in the 2700 list?
