Nearly 300 contestants compete at Greenfield Chess Championship 2025

Now in its second year, the competition has received enthusiastic participation not only from GFS students but also from students from other schools such as Edison Schools, Dewey Schools, and Vinschool. The tournament was divided into seven groups (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5, Grades 6/7, and Grades 8/9/High School), with each participant playing six rounds in a point-based system.

Determination and effort were evident in every match as students engaged in intense battles filled with a range of emotions—excitement from winning, disappointment from misplays, and the thrill of competing. After multiple challenging rounds, the best players in each category were finally crowned.

Founded in 2023 by passionate GFS students, GCC has made its mark in the school community with members achieving remarkable results at prestigious tournaments such as the Hanoi Open Rapid Chess Championship 2024, Chess Olympiad 2024, and ChessNK Nationwide Open. At the same time, the club has created its own platform, providing students nationwide with opportunities to connect, compete, and grow in the game.

Banh Gia Huy, Tournament Director and President of GCC, shared: "The biggest challenge we faced as organizers of the Greenfield Chess Championship 2025 was handling logistics before and after the event. This experience has given me a deep appreciation for the enthusiasm, creativity, and most importantly, the dedication of everyone involved in making this tournament a success."

More than just a competition, the Greenfield Chess Championship offers students a chance to sharpen their skills, build friendships, and enjoy the game they love. We hope this event has brought memorable experiences and further inspired students to keep improving and nurturing their passion for chess.
