SEDBERGHIAN PROUDLY REPRESENTS VIETNAM AS A CHAMPION OF THE FIDE WORLD TEAM AMATEUR RAPID CHESS CUP 2026
A proud early-summer achievement for the Sedbergh Vietnam community: Minh Phương, a Grade 10 student, and the Golden Stars team have successfully claimed the championship title at the FIDE World Team Amateur Rapid Chess Cup 2026, held in Hong Kong, competing in the Rapid Chess category.
Competing alongside young amateur chess players from around the world, the Grade 10 Sedberghian and five teammates demonstrated strong teamwork, advancing through 9 rounds under the Swiss System, leading Group A and securing their place in the championship match. In the final match, with flexible strategies, strong focus, and consistent performance, the Golden Stars team delivered an outstanding victory, officially lifting the FIDE World Team Amateur Rapid Chess Cup 2026 trophy and marking Vietnam’s presence on the international chess stage.
The Wolf House proudly congratulates Minh Phương and her teammates on this remarkable achievement. This milestone will serve as a source of motivation for them to continue striving, growing, and reaching new milestones throughout this summer and beyond.
At Sedbergh Vietnam, students’ learning and development journeys extend far beyond the classroom. As the academic year comes to an end, summer becomes an opportunity for Sedberghians to continue exploring and gaining enriching experiences through national and international platforms, broadening their perspectives, nurturing their passions, and developing themselves in their own unique ways.
