He might be in a hurry to win the Chinese Championship before his 16th birthday. He is Carlsen's future challenger and it won't be long now. As I said before, within 2 years. The next world champion will be from China. This year alone he might even go past 2750......!
The kid's "rating trajectory" is phenomenal, on par or better than Carlsen's. His trajectory is pointing at 2800+....before it even slows down.
Wei Yi has been having an incredible run at the Chinese Men's Championship . He just got the better of Ding Liren today and has now jumped to world no. 27 with a rating of 2728.8.His live rating is noow higher than that of MVL.
He is so incredibly accurate and patient with his game and rarely ever blunders.
With his 16th birthday just 9 days away , how long really before we see this 16yo play with the World's top 10 in the best tournaments around the globe.?!
