Career

Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu,[1] Ye learned chess when he was 17 years old of age, and at 20 he became national champion of China. He has altogether won the Chinese Chess Championship seven times (1981, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1994, 1996).

Ye has represented his country at numerous Chess Olympiads and Asian Team Chess Championships. He has been four times member of the Asia Team champions, a 12 times Olympiad participant. In his first appearance, in 1982, Ye won the individual silver medal on board four. His best team result in an Olympiad was in 1998 in Elista, where he was on the first board as the national team finished in fifth place.

Ye was 1995 and 1999 Champion of Dato' Tan Chin Nam Cup, and 2001 co-champion of same cup. He reached the 4th round (9–16th place) in the 2001 FIDE World Championship, where he was eliminated by Vassily Ivanchuk by ½–1½. He also reached the quarter-finals in the 2000 and 2002 FIDE World Cup.

Ye has played less frequently after becoming the chief coach of the Chinese national teams (men and women) in 2000.[2] He was awarded the title of FIDE Senior Trainer in 2005. Ye's highest world ranking was 17th in October 2000 and he had been consistently in the top 25 from 2000–04.[3]

gollark: =tex \int_0^5 x^2 dx
gollark: We have MathBot.
gollark: Yes, inasmuch as far as I know you need various more advanced calculus things to do much of that, as well as large quantities of other maths you don't appear to know.
gollark: One basic use is that you can calculate the rate of change of things, because that's basically what the derivative is. For example, velocity is rate of change of displacement, so you can go from displacement to velocity (to acceleration, which is rate of change of velocity, and so on), or integrate to go the other way.
gollark: Having vaguely looked at how they work, I don't think you can do that unless you know the frequency of sound in question.
