Wei Yi, Wang Chen, Lu Shanglei, Bruzon Batista, Krishnan Sasikiran.
After his brillant king hunt against Lazaro Bruzon in round two Wei Yi had to face the more mundane parts of chess in round three: he lost with Black against Wang Yue, who conducted a queenless middlegame energetically.
At the Chess Olympiad 2014 in Tromsö Wang Yue played first board
and his solid performance helped the Chinese team significantly to win gold.
In round five Wang Yue played against Ding Liren, China's number one player and demonstrated that Black's King's Indian bishop on g7 can sometimes be really bad.
Ding Liren, China's number one player. He won the 5. Hainan Danzhou tournament last year.
After five rounds Wang Yue is now sole leader with 4.0/5.

In the participant line up above, Ding Liren is not missing as mentioned. He is top left.
I have never seen Chinese players playing chess online. I've never seen Chinese Grandmasters playing at the age of 40.
Anyone know what happened to Wang Hao? He seems to be playing abroad, and either avoiding or skipping any tournaments in and for China. He wasn't part of the Olympiad team last year as well.
I agree Bronkenstein. His 3 wins show a very deep positional thought that might well be more elusive to achieve than tactics.
Wang Yue is the master of simple endgames, with a very Carlsen-like style in that part of the game.
I am more impressed by Wang Yue`s simple efficiency in handling that Anti-Gruenfeld or KID than the "imortal". Let`s hope he will finish strongly.
