The Hanoi GM/IM/FM Tournaments are back in 2025

by Peter Long - 14/12/2024

From 2022, GM Bui Vinh (VIE) and his team from the Future Grandmasters Club has worked closely with Vietnam Chess Federation and the various national and regional government sports and tourism authorities to organise no less than ten GM/IM/FM tournaments, nine in Hanoi, and one in Quang Ninh. Now, at the start of 2025, there will be two GM, two IM, and two FM tournaments, the first series from 3rd to 9th January 2025 and the second series from 10th to 15th January 2025.

All GM and IM events have been fully subscribed within a week but in the expanded version, the organisers can still accept entries meeting the title rating requirements, and it will be again held at the Hanoi Old Quarter Cultural Exchange Centre in the vibrant epicentre of South East Asia’s oldest city which attracts millions of visitors annually.

 

In the GM tournaments, a truly multi-cultural participation largely from the “smaller Dragons and Tigers” of East Asia, International Masters, Mohammad Fahad Rahman (Bangladesh), Azarya Setyaki (Indonesia), Shinya Kojima (Japan), Kushal R Jani (India), Lee Junhyeok (South Korea), Ranindu Dilshan Liyanage (Sri Lanka), Micheal Concio Jr. (Philippines), IM Prin Laohawirapap (Thailand) will join Vietnam hopefuls Dau Khuong Duy and Banh Gia Huy in pursuit of the Grandmaster title.

 

Those looking to increase their rating, in particular young players with ambition, should consider playing in the FM tournaments which will provide the competitive environment critical for player development.
