He won again. He's in 49th spot just 5 points to 2700.
If he gets the 2700 he will be the youngest in history.

He is really special. Not like the others.
This game could be taken from a Morphy book:
I hope he's got good parents. Or emotional back-up people. Otherwise he's another bobby fischer who went nuts. Chess will do that to you.

Funny that you think that chess does that to you and not the lack of good parents or emotional back-up people in the first place. And solely based on one example. Hmm...

He's just a teenager. The top 5 will eat him up.
Jim
Well it all depends if he eats rice or noodles he should actually get more proteins to keep his brain in top condition.
Then he could eat them up if he is hungry enough.
Regarding the sample game posted by icantevoleutopia, I don't understand why Black didn't instead move:
Well, I can't tell you why, surely it would have been a better try!

Maybe this could be the game that gets him to 2700.

Yei Yi: youngest ever to gain 2700+ elo
He draws with Topalov who is an over 2800 player. There's hope for the kid.
Jim
He's getting it done, now at 2714, 35th ranking.
He'll be 16 soon on June 2.
Jim
Oh ya, He won again. I don't predict. I report.

This is not some fifa career game that an young guy at 15 doing extraordinarily means he'll continue to improve at the same rate for the next ten years. This Wii or whatever guy will never become a 2800+ player. Heard it here first.
wei yi's fide rating progress:
if you calculate it will be nearly +8/month.
i don't think it will took many years.

Wei Yi is 15 years old and in 56th spot in the top 100 and turns 16 in June. So he's got he's got lots of time to get to 2700 rating.
Back in september he wasn't in the top 100.
