Niwa is amazing.

his matches are never boring !!!! His style is really unique. genius.

incredible play against FANG Bo... He almost made it against all expectations again, too bad he lost (again) this time. I hope he'll get this extra bit of luck and confidence in his next matches

 

[langel]

Well, in fact this match between Koki Niwa and Fang Bo didin'te exite me much. I felt some lack of salt and pepper in their play.

 

[mikechow]

Seems like most of the Chinese National teams players changed their blade, Fan Zhengdong, XuXin, FongBo...

Please, can someone translate what Anton Kallberg said in his match against Baggaley around 34:48?

Can only imagine what kind of monster Niwa would have transformed to if he had little more power !!

It's crazy that he's only 5'4 112 lbs according to wiki. That is just one tiny man. No doubt for him to hit at the power & speed he does, he has squeezed every bit of power & maximization he could possibly get out of that frame.

An interesting thought thought is that say if Koki was 6'0 and was say 180 lbs, I'd argue that he probably wouldn't be as crafty as he is and more of a power player. He wouldn't had to develop his craftyness growing up. So some of the magic you see from him would be lost.

I guess it is what it is. But yeah he's fun to watch.

CHEN Xingtong is really impressive. Her FH stroke at the table is so quick, and she takes such a big swing sometimes... its almost a winner every time even against DING Ning

 

[langel]

FZD vs XX on the run.
Is the obvious answer comming, or a surprise?

 

[bobpuls]

xx will win

I am glad she made it in the end!

 

[Michal_Z]

xx will win

Yep, he will win a bunch of points every game.
But my prediction is 4:0 FZD

 

[RidTheKid]

Lindeborg to Appelgren: how many points would you get against Xu Xin or Fzd?
A - Not many, I'm not in great shape these days.
L- Do you beat Waldner in your current shape?
A- Yes, sure.

From now i can say you are mistaken.
