On tonight, September 18th, Vietnam time, the Vietnamese women's chess team will continue to compete in the 3rd set at the 2026 World Team Championship (Olympiad 2026) against Australia.
According to the registration for the 3rd game, the Vietnamese chess team competing includes Pham Le Thao Nguyen, Vo Thi Kim Phung, Bach Ngoc Thuy Duong and Nguyen Thi Mai Hung.
Among them, 3 grandmasters Thao Nguyen, Kim Phung, Mai Hung are experienced chess players who have achieved international results in their careers.
After winning both of the first 2 games, the Vietnamese women's chess team is temporarily ranked 8th.
We are in the top 10 best teams after 2 matches played (the top is the US Women's Chess Team).
However, according to the assessment of coach Bui Vinh (directly directing female chess players at the 2026 Olympiad), the competition program still has many challenges ahead, so the whole team will strive to find opportunities to ensure the best ranking.
Olympiad 2026 will compete in 11 standard chess games according to the Swiss system.
The teams will play the first 6 games and then have a day off to continue returning from game 7.
The overall ranking of the teams depends on the performance of each player to consider the total score.
In the men's event, the Vietnamese chess team won 2 matches in 2 matches played.
On the night of September 18, Vietnamese male chess players will meet the Greek team. Currently, the Vietnamese men's chess team is temporarily ranked 18th.
