Outstanding Achievement

  • National Master (Vietnam Chess Federation)
  • 1 of 2 Vietnamese owns a chess course sold on Chessable.com
  • 3 gold medals at the National Youth Chess Championship
  • Bronze Medal of the International Grandmaster Chess Championship 2022

A 12-year-old student named Banh Gia Huy (Grade 7C1, Greenfield School) has won 6.5 points (70% of the score) after 9 games in the Team Chess National Championship 2021. With this achievement, Huy was qualified for the title of National Master in Chess.

Moreover, a chess course written by Gia Huy himself has been published and sold on Chessable.com - the world-famous online chess learning site. Gia Huy is the first Vietnamese to publish a course on Chessable and the youngest person to publish a course about chess opening on this website (In Vietnam, there are only 2 people who publish courses on Chessable: Gia Huy and Grandmaster Le Quang Liem – Vietnam's No. 1 chess player).

On the Chessable site, Simon Williams - British Grandmaster expressed his surprise about Gia Huy's course: "The course is really special because the creator is only 12 years old. He put together very unique opening strategies and gave great explanations for the opening moves. I think this National Grandmaster will have a bright future waiting for him.” 

The course is written entirely in English with a total of more than 50,000 words, which is a  fruitful result of Gia Huy's 6 months researching continuously. Gia Huy said: “I often visit Chessable to learn and make effort to become one of the authors on the website. I read English books every day, so writing the course in English is not difficult. During the writing, if I face any difficulties, I will ask Ms. Nhung (Greenfield School English teacher - PV) and self-check by the software. Currently, I am starting to write 2 more courses. I hope the course will be published soon.”

Gia Huy's course is suitable for students who play chess well and want to study the opening in-depth. Parents and students can learn about the course at Chessable's link: https://bit.ly/HuysOriginalRepertoire-Spielmann-Indian.
