No, 'Zhang' is just a very common family name used in China.

From here, you can see there are at least 85-90 million of them in China alone:

Of course, I know very well that it is a common name in China. But it is not so much in Britain, so three of them there together has at least the possibility of them being related. Common as the name Smith is in Britain, I would at least there that there would be a possibility of three Smiths in a tournaments in China being related.

I notice that at the bottom of the list somebody called Tethys has entered. There was one UK player who changed his name to Weed, I wonder if this is something similiar.

DrStraw, the UK has changed quite a lot since you left. Many Chinese students study here and some remain afterwards.

macelee, ah so that guy was you. Will you visit again? Would be nice to say hi.

Unfortunately I am away and won't be visiting again this time. Hope to see you again in the next big tournament. I really should spend less time online and play more real games.

Looks like Tehthys is just the OGS handle
