The blitz chess competition consisted of 11 games, each lasting 15 minutes, plus 10 seconds for each move. Le Tuan Minh performed impressively, remaining undefeated in all 11 games, winning 10 and drawing 1, scoring 10.5 points. Number 1 seed Megaranto Susanto (Indonesia) and number 3 seed Tin Jingyao (Singapore) both lost to Le Tuan Minh. The only player who could hold Le Tuan Minh to a draw in blitz chess was Zhao Chenxi (China).

Shining brilliantly with a double gold medal in rapid chess and blitz chess at the 2025 Asian Mind Sports Games, Le Tuan Minh aims to win a gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games taking place in Thailand this December. This is the SEA Games that Vietnam's number 1 chess player Le Quang Liem will not participate in, instead Le Tuan Minh and Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son will participate.

In 2020, he won the national championship title, then shone at the 31st SEA Games in 2022 at home with 2 gold medals (1 individual, 1 team). Last year, Le Tuan Minh made a strong impression with an individual bronze medal at the Chess Olympiad ( world team chess tournament).
