On his way to tournament victory Wei Yi followed a recipe of many successful tournament players: winning against the players who finish in the lower part of the table, and drawing against those in the upper half. Wei Yi beat Yu Yangyi, Ruslan Ponomariov, Lu Shanglei and Vladimir Malakhov and drew against the rest. Wei started well with 2.5/3 and never looked back. Here is his win against former FIDE World Champion Ruslan Ponomariov:
One point behind Wei was the Vietnamese grandmaster Le Quang Liem and China's number one, Ding Liren, who shared places two and three.
Officially Yi is still a junior and he leads the Top Junior's list by a wide margin. However, after winning Danzhou Wei Yi also made a big jump in the live-rating list. Now sporting a massive 2755 rating the 18-year old Chinese jumps to world's number 14, 67 points behind Magnus Carlsen and 27 points behind Ding Liren.
