Vietnamese grandmaster Le Quang Liem has played a key role in helping
Webster University win the President’s Cup in New York, the United
States.
This was the third time for the university and second time for Liem to triumph in a row at the annual tournament.
The
President’s Cup, which was previously named the Final Four of College
Chess, lures the strongest teams of the Pan-American Intercollegiate
Team Chess Championship.
The three other competing teams were from the University of Texas, Texas Tech University and the University of Maryland.
At the March 27-29 event, all three matches were won and topped at the tournament.
This
was Liem’s third title within a month, as he also won gold medals
during the World Cup’s Zone 3.3 qualifying round and the International
HD Bank chess tournament in HCM City earlier this month.-VNA
