Still wondering who will be the next world chess championship challenger??? stop there, here is the guy who will beat Magnus Carlsen.

Dear chess colleague, you have been observing the meteoric rise of Magnus Carlsen from wonderkid to world champion, you have been trying to figure out who will be his nemesis to no avail, you are still waiting for Nakamura to win a single game against "Sauron", you wonder if Caruana has enough skills to kick his way to the world championship, you still have to see a decent win by Topalov by means other than running out of time due to neglectful organizers...
Well, this is your day of luck because then search has ended, that challenger is not a top 10, is not russian, not even a westerner, this guy is from China and has the best winning streak since Carlsen's not only that, he has some brilliant wins under his hood, his style is dynamic and his game is supported by superb tactical skills that reminds the notable punishments of no other than Mikhail Tahl.
Wei Yi is only 16 years old, a child prodigy, at this time is rating is 2726 and raising steadily, sure there is another chinese player above him, but just take a look at the games of Wei, they seems to be of another planet, one of his last jewels is from the famous Capablanca Memorial in Havana, there he crushed local hero Lazaro Bruzón, refuting forever a dubious line the Scheveningen Sicilian, Misha Tahl could not have done better in his best days.

Impressive game.

Fabiano Caruana kicking ass like a madman at Sinquefield Cup, perfect score so far.

Well, it seems that there is a monster in town, and no, my friend, he is not a talented norwegian boy, he comes from the land of pizza and macaroni. Fabiano Caruana has defeated every single top player in the Sinquefield cup, including no other than current world champion and number 1 Magnus Carlsen. To put Caruana's performance in context we must remember some other great winning streaks such as Fischer's interzonal-candidates (including 6-0 over Taimanov and 6-0 over Larsen), Karpov at Linares 1994, Topalov at San Luis 2006. So, we must wait for the second leg of this tournament, Caruana can still enhance his score, there is a nice article at chess.com These recent results from Caruana just confirm that he is the closer contender for Magnus Carlsen, the world champion has been affected by a decline in his game since the olympiad in Norway, there must be some psychological component on it, since he is not even close to his impressive results from the last 3 years. Now, fo

Smart Mobile Studio, the rise of compiled JS programming languages and why the future is happening right now.

Javascript is the present and future of pretty much every web based technology either desktop or backend, no doubt about it, just look at the impressive momentum of tools suchs as Angular and Node.js, look at the efforts of giant companies strongly trying to deliver the next holy grail of  JS compiled programming languages, to my mind comes Microsoft with Typescript and Google with Dart. They both try to fill the gap between an obscure and alien language like JS and the elegance and productivity of object oriented, garbage collected languages. If you (like me) miss some nice IDE with superproductive features that enable to build production quality JS desktop and server apps i recommend you to look no further at software giants like already mentioned Google and Microsoft the answer to your problems could be in a small, Norway based software shop. Smart Mobile Studio is the creation of a small team of programming gurus very well known inside the Delphi Community, did i say "Delp
