(born Feb-23-1990, 33 years old) Vietnam

[what is this?]

IM (2002); GM (2004); World U10 Champion (2000); Champion of Vietnam (2014).

Nguyen is one of Vietnam's top players, and has in recent years been ranked the country's #2 player after Le Quang Liem.

In 2000, he won the world under-10 championship and four years later became a Grandmaster at the age of 14 years, 10 months. In 2004, he was voted as athlete of the year in Vietnam. In 2008, he was runner up to Ivan Saric in the World U19 Youth Championship held in Vietnam. In 2010, he was =1st in the Biel Chess Festival (2010), but came second on tiebreak to Fabiano Caruana. He qualified through the 2011 Asian Continental Championship to play in the World Cup (2011), and defeated Chinese GM Li Chao in the first round. In the second round he lost in the 10 minute rapid-game tiebreaker to the eventual winner, Russian GM Peter Svidler. He came 5th in the FIDE World Blitz Championship (2013) in June 2013, 1 point behind the winner, compatriot Le Quang Liem, and half a point behind the three joint 2nd place getters. He qualified for the World Cup (2013) via Zonal 3.3 and defeated Vladimir Eduardovich Akopian in the first round, but lost to Russian GM Dmitry Andreikin in the second round, and was thereby eliminated from the event. He won the gold medal for board 2, playing for Vietnam at the Chess Olympiad (2014).

In March 2014, he won the HD Bank International Open with 7/9 and in December 2014 he won the Vietnamese Championship. In March 2015, he came 2nd in Zonal 3.3 and qualified for the World Cup 2015. Later that month, he was =3rd at the HD Bank Cup 2015 with a scored of 6.5/9.

Nguyen qualified from Zonal 3.3 to play in the World Cup (2015) where he defeated Polish GM Robert Kempinski in the first round only to lose to Russian super-GM Evgeny Tomashevsky in the second set of rapid (10+10) tiebreakers in the second round, thereby bowing out of the event.

Nguyen's highest rating and ranking to date is 2665 in April 2015 when he was ranked #81 in the world. He first entered the top 100 in May 2010 when he was still a Junior (ie: U20).

Feb-23-11		wordfunph: birthday greetings to the most shy GM i've ever met --- GM Ngoc Truong Son! cheers!!

Feb-23-11		Penguincw: < wordfunph: birthday greetings to the most shy GM i've ever met --- GM Ngoc Truong Son! cheers!! > I think the most "shy" grandmaster I ever heard of was Akiba Rubinstein. On Wikipedia,it says that he used to make his move,then hide in a corner of the tournament hall and wait for his opponent to reply.However,its Wikipeida.It could be someone making up the info.

Feb-23-11		alexmagnus: Rubinstein was not shy, he was ill. Panic fear of humans is somewhat different than plain shyness...

Feb-23-11		Penguincw: < alexmagnus:Rubinstein was not shy,he was ill.Panic fear of humans is somewhat different than plain shyness... > That's why I put <shy> in quotes.

Feb-23-11		wordfunph: <alex> <Penguin> ok ok they're both shy, shy to beat us in chess.. :)

Feb-23-12		wordfunph: "I haven't figure out why I usually play badly in Vietnam. May be I will change my method when playing with familiar opponents. It's very hard to play in Vietnam." - GM Nguyen Ngoc Truongson happy birthday GM Ngoc!

Feb-23-12		Penguincw: Happy Birthday!

Nov-08-12		Abdel Irada: I'm not sure if the <ChessGames.com> database sample represents this player's career, but the win-loss ratio we see on this page is quite astounding.

Jan-30-13		wordfunph: <chessgames.com> thank you for posting Vietnam's #2 player GM Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son. the pic was taken during the 3.3 Zonal Championship in Tagaytay City. Second seed GM Ngoc finished solo champ with 7.5/9 clip to book his World Cup campaign in Norway this August. before his victorious game against GM Paragua, i saw him relaxing outside the playing venue listening to music. During games, he usually takes a stroll around the venue watching games. this young amiable GM will go a long long way.. goodluck GM Ngoc "The Stroller" Truong Son!

Feb-22-13		wordfunph: GM Ngoc, chúc mung sinh nhat!

Feb-23-13		Benzol: < In 2004, he was voted as athlete of the year in Vietnam. > In the picture he looks frail. Mind you, you can look frail and play ferocious chess. Just look at photos of Karpov around 1972 for example. :)

Feb-23-14		Penguincw: Happy 24th birthday to Ngoc Nguyen! M Vachier-Lagrave vs Ngoc Truongson Nguyen, 2000 Not bad. In his first game in the database, he beats a super GM with the black pieces.

Mar-15-14		twinlark: <Penguincw> Nguyen is 8 months older than MVL.

Jul-25-14		zanzibar: Sorry, but I'm at it again. Why is his name <Truongson> on <CG>? His given name is <Son>, and he has two middlenames, that is, if I understand my recent Vietnamese name lessons properly. According to Wiki his full name is: <Nguyễn Ngọc Trường Sơn> And unlike Le Quang Liem, <CG> uses Westernized ordering for Mr. Truong Son ( http://thethao.vnexpress.net/tin-tu... ).

Aug-10-14		wordfunph: sizzling +5=2-0 in Tromso! http://chess-results.com/tnr140380....

Aug-11-14		wordfunph: make it 7/8 for 2856 tpr! http://chess-results.com/tnr140380....

Aug-12-14		Mr. V: <Zanzibar> I second your confusion about the names. In addition, if Ngoc is his given name, then I'm very suprised- I've only heard of it as a woman's name.

Aug-12-14		Bruce Graham: <Zanzibar> and <Mr. V.> you are both correct. Nguyen is the most common surname in Vietnam. <Mr. V> Sometimes in Vietnam I encounter boys with girl's names and vice-versa.

Aug-14-14		wordfunph: board #2 Gold medal in Tromso Olympiad, congrats GM Son! http://www.chess-results.com/tnr140...

Aug-14-14		ketchuplover: Kudos!

Dec-16-14		twinlark: Congratulations to GM Nguyen winning the Vietnamese Championship.

Feb-23-15		whiteshark: Happy Birthday to the <Player of the DAY>

Aug-04-15		sonia91: In April he married Le Thao Nguyen Pham, after dating for more than 5 years (as he explained in a interview during the currently underway Asian Individual Championship 2015: http://www.asianchess.com/news/deta...): Photo: http://news.zing.vn/Cap-doi-lang-co...

Feb-23-16		TheFocus: Happy birthday, Ngoc Trupngson Nguyen.

Dec-27-16		ketchuplover: Drawn goes Nakamura!
