Wu Yiming
Posted: Sat Apr 03, 2021 6:16 am
Wu Yiming went 3-3 in her last 6 games in the Chinese Women A league. At first glance, there is nothing impressive there, but Wu is only 14 and her opponents were among the strongest women in the world. All her opponents were rated above 3000. Here is a list of her last 6 games from https://www.goratings.org/en/players/2027.html:
By comparison, Fujisawa Rina is #5, Ueno Asami is #9 and Suzuki Ayumi is #32 in these rankings. I think Wu Yiming will get in the top 50 women in the world by the end of this year (when she will be 15) and will be #1 within 5 years.
It is difficult for me to watch her progress because the Chinese go results are all in Chinese. This is an article about some results http://www.eweiqi.com/index.php?m=conte ... 3&id=32935, but the google translation of these articles is painful to read. I can't even tell what place is Wu's team (Hangzhou Yunlin?).
Wu Yiming's last win was against Yu Zhiying (world #2), who just won Senko cup after defeating Choi Jung (#1).
