Combining chess pieces and AI technology to nurture young intelligence.

For the first time, artificial intelligence technology has been applied to a children's chess tournament, allowing children to play and learn simultaneously, while also opening up a new and engaging interactive learning model for children.

The Vietnam Children's Chess Tournament for the 2025-2026 school year will utilize AI technology.

To concretize Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo on "Fundamental and comprehensive reform of education and training" and to realize the Prime Minister's Project No. 1314/QĐ-TTg on "Discovering, nurturing and promoting young Vietnamese talents in the period 2022-2030", the Central Youth Union Council will coordinate with relevant units to implement the Vietnam Children's Chess Tournament for the 2025-2026 school year.

Comprising a series of national-level events, the tournament aims to build a movement of intellectual sports among children, contributing to the development of logical thinking, discipline, and fostering creativity and self-confidence among Vietnamese students.

Intended for students from elementary to middle school, the tournament is expected to become a nationwide intellectual competition.

This activity not only encourages students to develop strategic thinking, perseverance, and concentration skills, but also contributes to discovering and nurturing young talents, gradually forming a modern school chess ecosystem that combines digital transformation and AI technology.

According to the plan, the Vietnam Children's Chess Tournament for the 2025-2026 school year will be implemented in six localities on a pilot basis, aiming to open a new phase of development for the school chess movement; it will consist of three rounds: school level, provincial level, and national final.

The national finals of the tournament are scheduled to take place in Da Lat ( Lam Dong province) in the summer of 2026.

The registration interface for the tournament is on the homepage.

Accompanying the tournament are many prominent figures in Vietnam's intellectual arena, such as International Grandmaster Bui Vinh, Member of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Chess Federation, Head Coach of the National Chess Team; Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Ngoc, Vietnam Institute of Culture, Arts, Sports and Tourism; Mr. Bach Ngoc Chien, President of Vovinam Digital, Vice President of Vovinam World; International Master Nguyen Thien Ngan, 2019 U14 World Youth Chess Champion...

A highlight of this year's tournament is the application of the ChessGPT platform, an artificial intelligence product developed by DUCA Holdings, a science and technology enterprise. This is a pioneering step in bringing modern technology into intellectual sports education, opening up a new and engaging interactive learning model for children.
