Although Le Quang Liem could not surprise the world's number 1 chess player Magnus Carlsen, the Vietnamese chess team still excellently drew with Norway in the 8th game of the 2024 Olympiad.
The highlight of the match between the Vietnamese and Norwegian chess teams in the 8th round of Olympiad 2024 was the competition between the two key players Le Quang Liem (Elo 2,741) and Magnus Carlsen (Elo 2,832). Although they have met many times in rapid and blitz chess tournaments, this is the first time the two players have faced each other in a standard chess match.
Although Quang Liem had the advantage of holding the white pieces, his attack power was not enough to cause trouble for the world's number 1 player. On the contrary, Magnus Carlsen had a situation of sacrificing his rook and capturing a pawn. This move was the turning point of the match, helping the Norwegian player gain the upper hand.
After 45 moves, Le Quang Liem accepted defeat to Magnus Carlsen, but his teammate Le Tuan Minh (Elo 2,564) had an important victory against Aryan Tari (Elo 2,642) in game 3 to tie the score at 1-1. A very commendable match for Tuan Minh as he maintained a stable performance in the tournament, with 6.5 points after 8 games.
In the remaining two tables, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son (Elo 2,633) and Tran Tuan Minh (Elo 2,434) both drew against Johan Sebastian Christiansen (Elo 2,661) and Frode Urkedal (Elo 2,546) in the endgame.
With this result, the Vietnamese chess team tied 2-2 with Norway, thereby having 12 points after 8 games (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss), temporarily standing in 7th place.
In the women's group, the Vietnamese girls easily defeated Malaysia 3.5-0.5. Vo Thi Kim Phung (Elo 2,320), Bach Ngoc Thuy Duong (Elo 2,214) and Le Thanh Tu (Elo 2,092) defeated Tan Li Ting (Elo 2,037), Puteri Rifqah Fahada Azhar (Elo 1,947) and Sivanesan Nithyalakshmi (Elo 1,912) respectively. The player who had a draw was Luong Phuong Hanh (Elo 2,225) against Puteri Munajjah Azhar (Elo 2,014).
After 2 consecutive wins, the Vietnamese women's chess team has 12 points, temporarily ranking 9th. In total, the Vietnamese chess team is ranked 5th, after India, China, the US and Ukraine. In the 9th game taking place at 8:00 p.m. on September 20 (Vietnam time), the men's team will face England, while the women's team will face Bulgaria.
