The next is from the eleventh round and how fitting that Cheng should front up against the top seed, the 2344-rated, Suri Vaibhav of India.

Congrats certainly to Bobby, but also to young Anton Smirnov also - who came =2nd (4th on tiebreak) in the U8!

howcome when the likes of david smerdon arianne caoili yuan olivers and the likes played the world youth the standard was much stronger? when i look at the rating averages in turkey its so significantly lower than back a few years ago.
not meaning to be critical of bobbys success, just an insight. maybe its because nowadays, the strong youth people cant be bothered with the world youth anymore.
Congrats to young Bobby! Talent will always shine through no matter from where. That is the point of the World Youth Championships. Kudos also to Darryl too. Now Oz chess will have the challenge to help him build on this success and ensure he fulfils his potential.
Typical aussies laying claim to all that is New Zealand - Phar Lap, Crowded House, Russell Crowe, and now chess players. Fair dinkum.
I have news for you Mr Anon. Bobby chose to change federations,which isn't cheap,because he lives in Australia. The top Australian players he has had a chance to play regularly against in the last couple of years have definitely helped him to improve as a chess player. If you think they have not given him invaluable experience then you are just bitter and deluded.
Hey Simon, you seem a little upset over what was a tongue in cheek comment. Too close to home perhaps. Bobby Cheng is undoubtedly a talented player and at 12 years of age, would have improved in NZ or Australia. Now where did i put my Midnight Oil CD.
