The First Danzhou Hainan Super Tournament took place from 11th June to 20th June 2010 in Danzhou city, Hainan province, China.

Ten top Chinese Grandmasters competed, with the exception of GM Wang Yue who plays Bazna Kings in Romania.

Bu Xiangzhi entered the final round as leader, half a point ahead of three players, but after he drew Yifan Hou in a very exciting game, Li Chao b caught up on the shared first place after a relatively easy win against Yu Yangyi. However, Bu was declared winner on better tiebreak score.

Ni Hua finally managed to draw a game after five consecutive losses. He took a draw from the 2009 China champion Ding Liren. In the end, Ding Liren shared the third place with reigning China champion Hao Wang.
