Grandmaster Le Tuan Minh promises to shine at the KPNest chess tournament

At the Chess Olympiad in Hungary in September, Le Tuan Minh was the most successful Vietnamese player, winning a bronze medal at board 3. The grandmaster from Hanoi played all 11 games, achieving an undefeated record (won 7 games, drew 4 games). The performance of this 28-year-old player was very high, equivalent to a player with an elo of 2,795. He defeated many strong players such as Javokhir (Uzbekistan), McShane (England).

Le Tuan Minh excellently won the individual bronze medal at the Chess Olympiad in September 2024 in Hungary and promises to shine in the upcoming KPNest Gold-Plated Cup Chess Tournament.

In a recent sharing, Le Tuan Minh said he was very happy and proud of what he had achieved at the Olympiad, considered the Olympics of chess, where almost all the world's top players gathered. The number 1 hope of Hanoi chess also did not forget to express gratitude to the two teachers who had the greatest influence on him, Coach Luong Trong Minh and Grandmaster Bui Vinh.

Le Tuan Minh is happy with the most successful Olympiad of his career.

Le Tuan Minh will compete in the open group at the KPNest chess tournament, where he will face off against teammates from the Vietnamese team such as Le Quang Liem, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, Tran Tuan Minh and other notable faces. "Veteran" coach Lam Minh Chau said: "Le Tuan Minh is a player with the ability to play fast chess and blitz chess very well. He is gradually asserting his position as the top player in Vietnamese chess and his chess skills are developing well. Therefore, in my opinion, Le Tuan Minh will be a candidate to compete for the open group championship title at this KPNest chess tournament."

Le Tuan Minh (second from right) is considered to be able to enter the top international Super Grandmasters.

In the context of lack of opportunities to compete internationally, Le Tuan Minh chose to practice chess and compete online. The digital age makes it easy for him to exchange and learn chess with international friends, which is also the secret to helping the Hanoi chess player improve his chess skills. Grandmaster Bui Vinh assessed that if well invested, Le Tuan Minh has the ability to enter the top elo 2,700, which is currently only achieved by Le Quang Liem in Vietnamese chess.
