The energetic summer chess tournament for primary and secondary school students in Ho Chi Minh City was recently organized by the Vietnam Chess Federation in collaboration with KingViet Education and Royalchess Khang Dien Center.
Young chess players from Ho Chi Minh City participate in the competition
Not just a purely sports tournament, for the first time, a chess event has a groundbreaking combination of intellectual sports competition with vibrant zumba dances that players are instructed to perform during the exciting "breaks" between games.
In addition, young players are also positively energized by a scientific and reasonable nutritional diet, combining three core elements of comprehensive school sports, a model that has received attention and positive evaluation from experts in the field of sports science and intellectual education .
Chess players are instructed to dance Zumba according to the model of "chess combined with movement"
According to Dr. Jane Nguyen, a sports scientist , integrating physical activities such as zumba into chess tournaments is not simply for entertainment purposes, but is built on a scientific foundation of sports physiology.
The "chess combined with exercise" model not only helps reduce stress and regenerate energy during competition, but also supports the development of flexibility and body balance - physical indicators that are often overlooked in training young chess players.
This model has been applied at advanced chess academies in Europe and the United States and was first comprehensively tested in Vietnam through this tournament.
Besides the fun activities, the tournament also introduced AI technology combined with chess analysis, increasing the excitement of the tournament.
Every move is not only displayed on the physical chessboard, but is also connected and analyzed live on the global chess platform Chess.com with 600 million members.
Players compete on an AI-powered chessboard, connected to the global network
This device is not just an electronic chess board, it is a teacher, a real AI "coach", which is being applied by many chess teaching centers.
This is proof that the "AI-Enhanced Learning" approach is a world trend, helping to shorten the time to learn skills and create outstanding motivation for children.
The tournament has a profound humanitarian meaning. All entry fees will be donated to "Happy Chess", a community project initiated by Dr. Jane Nguyen, Vice President of the Vietnam Chess Federation, with the goal of providing 100,000 chess sets and contributing to the training of 1,000 volunteer coaches to children in special circumstances across the country.
