Wang Yue has been confirmed as the sixth and final participant for the Nanjing Perl Spring chess tournament, that will take place in China in September.
Earlier this month the organizers released a participants list with five names – Veselin Topalov, Magnus Carlsen, Vishwanathan Anand, Dmitry Jakovenko, and Teimour Radjabov, stating that “a Chinese player is to be announced.” After several speculations around the names of Xingzhi Bu, Wang Hao, and Ni Hua, the player confirmed is Wang Yue.

Wang Yue will win it all and break 2800! That’s my prediction.
Wang yue will finish at the bottom as usual.
Fantastic lineup… Five of the top ten, including the top three. Average rating 2770. Only one player rated below 2750.
I predict that of the players will get in a circle and beat Wang.
…stronger than M-tel or Dortmund.
