Never heard of this guy.
He’s a Chinese GM. Onischuk had been leading for most of the tournament.
How can Chinese play better chess than US??? Please explain to me.
Chinese chess is very-very strong! It is not a surprise for me that Pengxiang was the first, the surprise for me that Paragua Mark collected only 5 points!
way to go pengxiang!!
