According to the Department of Sports and Physical Training, the Vietnamese youth chess team will participate in the 2024 World Youth Championship in Brazil from October 29 to November 9. This year's tournament will feature events for the U14, U16 and U18 age groups.
The list of 6 top young players of the Vietnamese youth chess team participating in this tournament includes: Dinh Nho Kiet, Vuong Tung Lam, Duong Vu Anh, Do Ha Trang, Nguyen Thuy Linh, Tran Ngoc Minh Duy. Mr. Nguyen Minh Thang - Vice President and General Secretary of the Vietnam Chess Federation said: The players participating in this tournament are all good choices for the sport. They all have their own abilities. However, in a world-class arena like this, many young players from other countries are highly skilled, so the Vietnamese chess team will have to compete very carefully if they want to win a medal. Also according to the representative of the Vietnam Chess Federation, the young generation of Vietnamese chess is developing strongly, being the elite seeds to supplement the national chess team to participate in major tournaments in the continent and the world. Among the 6 players participating in this tournament, Dinh Nho Kiet is the player most known to chess fans compared to the remaining faces. This is also the most anticipated player. However, this also puts a lot of pressure on Kiet when he has to shoulder the responsibility of winning a medal for the Vietnamese chess team in this tournament. Nho Kiet made a splash when he participated in the 2023 World Youth Championship and competed in the U14 age group. At that time, after 11 standard games, Nho Kiet achieved a total of 7.5 points and ranked 20th. This achievement of Kiet was highly appreciated by the coaching staff of the Vietnamese chess team. Also in 2023, Nho Kiet left his mark when he won many Gold Medals in his age group at the Southeast Asian Youth Chess Championship. At the 2024 World Youth Championship, Dinh Nho Kiet registered to participate at the table of the U14 men's age group. The men's content in this age group has many players participating. Nho Kiet has an elo of 2,333, so he is in the top group of the U14 men's content. Vietnamese youth chess has recorded a number of successful faces in the world arena such as: Dao Thien Hai (U16, 1993), Nguyen Thi Dung (U12 women, 1994), Hoang Thanh Trang (U20 women, 1998), Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son (U10, 2000), Le Quang Liem (U14, 2005)... Up to now, Vietnamese youth chess is still full of confidence waiting for more young faces to continue that achievement.
