Back on my computer, so old designs are back
There are lot of strong Chinese players now. I am not sure about the reason. It is a large country. Russia (and former Soviet Union) always had a lot of strong players. Maybe now the rest of the world is just catching up.
Wei Yi seems like a special talent based on his age and rating

Well with more populace to work with there can develop a lot of savants at chess. They can be extraordinary. Russia pretty much dedicated themselves to being chess geniuses, though. I agree. The rest of the world is definitely catching up.
I vote for a5 50% and 30% for axb5 and then 20% for e4...
Just choose one move please so it can be counted:)

Could this 16 year old become the next Magnus Carlsen?
By winning this tournament (challengers section) he qualified for Tata Steel Masters Section 2016

I much prefer axb5 over a5, so that's my vote if e4 isn't popular. Which I believe gives us three votes for axb5 (jjacob, Timelord2067, and myself), three votes for a5 (Taras, abacus, and ErisDiscordia), and one vote for e4 (gotmilk_). Greenlion voted for Rf2, but that is not a legal move.
You missed languagehasmeaning:
I would also prefer a5.
That makes five votes for a5, three for axb5, one for e4.
I am pretty sure Greenlion meant Rf1 not Rf2
I also think that. Rf2 make no sense.
Just read whole topic. Very nice to play a game like this.
Kind of the games Magnus Vs The World.

I feel like Nakamura would be the bitcoin contender on this list. I don't know if that's our secret grandmaster, but I can hope However, Nakamura uses emoticons frequently, which OP has yet to do at all, even with the
SMF smilies. Additionally, 36% of Nakamura's sentences end with an exclamation point. This is far, far more than OP's ratio (<.1%).Nakamura is also the look a like of the younger satoshi. :-)
I also think he is the one. I don't see others maling scripts to do this.
If this game becomes a draw it must be Giri or Leko.
My vote for axb5.
About a5, I see the Queen being pushed to a7 (I don't think Qc6 will be played, because we can play Ng4 or Ne1 and attack the Queen). We can then play Be3 or Bc7, but I don't see it developing.
e4 appears to weaken the d pawn and I am not in favour of it.

I think the 36% of sentences ending with an exclamation point is solid evidence it is not him...... unless he was cognizant of this habit and purposely changed it to obscure his identity.
Despite all the Eastern European and Asian names on the list I think that most of them read and write English pretty well. Have you heard Peter Svidler speak? No accent at all. I am not sure if this is related to anything but I think some chess players speak multiple languages (such as the Polgar sisters). I think many of the chess players on that list are active online on Twitter and Reddit. Several are very good poker players. Many have online chess accounts under a pseudonym (Smallville" and "Capilanobridge" for Nakamura and "thetwits" for Carlsen are two well known examples).
Do we have consensus yet?
14. a5 appears to have a solid lead but some have not voted
