Bio:
GM-electer Ruifeng Li embarked on his chess journey at around age five, but his first truly major accomplishment was at the 2011 World Youth Chess Championships, when he became the silver medalist in the U10 section. Ruifeng has come to a head in recent times by obtaining first in, among others, four large international opens: the Philadelphia Open, National Open, Washington Chess Congress, and North American Open. His strong performance in 2016 also enabled him to clinch the GM title, as well as the top spot in the Trophies Plus Grand Prix.
