Imagine a field of World No 1 Magnus Carlsen,Hikaru Nakamura,Anish Giri ....... basically the entire future of Chess and Wang Hao managing to win a tournament like that is really amazing.This is one of the Tournaments which used the 3-1-0 format.(3 points for win and 1 point for Draw) rather than the usual 1-1/2 point format.Wang seems to be maturing as a good tactical and agrresive player.I was watching his post match interview after his final match victory against Anish Giri which is embedded below.
I was really surprised at how modest he was after the victory and how he was realistic about China's chances at the Olympiad.This is one of the traits of the over performing Chinese sportstars, they are all extremely modest. There is a sense of discipline and an unrelenting work ethic which allows the Chinese to achieve the milestones they are reaching and no doubt they will one day stretch the limits of human achievements.
