I learned to play chess at age six and began competing internationally at age ten. By fourteen, I earned the International Master title and won multiple medals at the World Youth Championships.

​

I was awarded the Grandmaster title at age fifteen, becoming one of the youngest grandmasters at the time. Since 2009, I have been consistently ranked the top player in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, and among the world’s leading players for more than a decade.

​

I have competed regularly in elite international events, including the World Cup, Chess Olympiad, and top professional circuits. In addition to my individual career, I captained a collegiate team to multiple national championships during my university years, an experience that later shaped my leadership in collegiate chess.

​

I continue to compete at the highest level internationally while contributing to the development of high-performance chess programs.
