Keywords: People
Liao Xingwen is 8 years old in February 2002, and "continues to improve from his grade of 4-dan achieved at the MSO4 Open in August 2000." This remarkable youngster began playing at the age of 5, and has been a live-in pupil of Chinese pros Liu Yajie? and her husband, Wang Hongjun? since July 1999. (He reportedly argued with his parents until they consented to let him live away from home.) This child prodigy studies go for several hours a day, and plans to turn pro. His teachers expect great things of him, though of course it's impossible to predict how far he'll eventually go.
There are more details in the Xingwen's first teachers have run out of things to teach him and so have just passed him on to Nie Weiping's school in Beijing (Feb 2002). He has improved to about 5-dan, not as much as hoped but he can now count fast. He is supporting Brazil for the World Cup, John Fairbairn This is a copy of the living page "Liao Xingwen" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
