IMDau Khuong Duy

Dau Khuong Duy grew up in Hanoi and learned chess from his father at seven. After losing every game in his first club tournament, he won an under-seven event four months later. He took bronze in the world under-eight championship in 2019, Vietnam's only medal at the event. Later that year, he defeated grandmaster Cao Sang in a national tournament. His performance in the 2021 Vietnamese Championship earned him the national master title at nine. In 2023, he won both the world under-twelve rapid championship in Batumi and the classical title in Sharm el Sheikh. FIDE recorded his International Master title in 2024. He won the 2026 Bangkok Chess Club Open on tiebreak after finishing unbeaten with 7/9. His results included a victory over Loek van Wely and draws with Nigel Short and Titas Stremavičius. The tournament earned him his second Grandmaster norm.
