HÀ NỘI — Tôn Thất Nhật Tân of Đà Nẵng won the third Trạng Cờ Đất Việt, a year-end Chinese chess tournament for eight best athletes in Ninh Bình Province.
At the matches held on Sunday, the 41-year-old won two games and drew one in the group round.
He then beat Nguyễn Anh Mẫn, also from Đà Nẵng, in the semi-finals and overcame Trần Quốc Việt from Bình Dương to take the title.
Tân became the third winner of the tournament after Phạm Quốc Hương of Hà Nội in 2013 and Trềnh A Sáng of HCM City in 2015. Tân was the first runner-up in 2015.
