Việt Nam toàn thắng tại giải cờ tướng cá nhân châu Á 2011
Sáng nay 4/11, lần đầu tiên sau 31 năm lịch sử của giải vô địch cờ tướng cá nhân châu Á, kỳ thủ người TP HCM Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm đã đăng quang giải nam sau khi chiến thắng ở trận chung kết “toàn Việt Nam”.
Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm
Danh thủ Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm đã trở thành tân vô địch của môn thể thao trí tuệ mà bao năm qua vẫn được cho là “quốc bảo”, là độc tôn của người Trung Quốc. Bất ngờ đã đến khi cả hai kỳ thủ nam Việt Nam là Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm và Bùi Dương Trân thi đấu ấn tượng và dẫn đầu sau 5 ván vòng một, trong khi đó hai đại cao thủ của Trung Quốc là Lữ Khâm (5 lần vô địch thế giới) và Vương Dược Phi chỉ xếp thứ 5 và 6. Lần đầu tiên sau 31 năm, các kỳ thủ Trung Quốc không vào nổi vòng bán kết, dẫn tới một thất bại lớn đối với làng cờ tướng nước này.
Với phong độ cao, hai kỳ thủ Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm và Bùi Dương Trân đã biến trận chung kết của giải vô địch châu Á 2011 năm nay trở thành cuộc đối đầu nội bộ “toàn Việt Nam”. Nguyễn Hoàng Lâm chiến thắng và lên ngôi vô địch. Bùi Dương Trân giành HC bạc.

Vietnamese players took two gold medals in the men’s and women’s contests at the 15th Asian Xiangqi (Chinese Chess) Individual Championships that ended in Macau on Friday.
In the men’s event, Vietnam’s number one Nguyen Thanh Bao stayed at home to prepare for the World Chinese Chess Championships in Indonesia late this month.
However, Nguyen Hoang Lam and Bui Duong Tran upset all the big rivals before playing the all-Vietnamese final men’s individual match; and Lam beat Tran to win the gold.
The Chinese players Wang Yue Fei and five-time world champion Lu Qin were the favorites for the title, but they failed to advance to the semifinals.
Vietnamese female player Ngo Lan Huong lost to China’s Chen Li Chun in the women’s individual group stage but beat Chen in the final match to win the gold medal.
This is the first time the Vietnamese chess players have won the gold medals since the Asian Chinese Chess Championships were launched in 1980.
The Chinese Chess event this year attracted 20 male and 10 female players from 16 countries and territories, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, India, Australia and hosts China.
