The 2026 Asian Chess Championship will compete in standard chess with 9 sets according to the Swiss system. Vietnamese chess players were present in Mongolia on May 28.
On May 29th, male and female chess players will compete in the first set. The competition program will last until June 5th. On June 6th, the award ceremony of the Organizing Committee will take place.
The goal of the Vietnamese Chess Team is to strive for the best results and the player to be in the leading group.
However, the Asian Championship always attracts many top players from the continent to participate. This year, the men's group has 33 general representatives participating in the list of 147 registered players. The women's group is expected to have 101 players participating.
Recently, the Vietnam Chess Federation also issued a notice to publicly and transparently disclose the processes of selecting chess players to participate in international tournaments in the year of competition to avoid controversy.
Last year, player Dau Khuong Duy participated in the 2025 Asian Championship, but only ranked 50th overall in the men's group.
Vietnamese Chess is considering professional forces to select the final list of players to participate in the 2026 World Team Championship - Olympiad 2026.
