About Tri Kien
I am a passionate young Candidate Master from Vietnam and a proud member of the National Youth Chess Team, representing my country in international tournaments since 2015. Moving to Sydney since September 2023 following my studies, I’ve been eager to share my love for chess and inspire students to explore the beauty of this game.
With over 10 years of experience competing in high-level chess tournaments and 6 years of guiding young players to achieve medal-winning results, I bring both deep competitive insight and a strong coaching background.
Some of my notable achievements in Australia:
- 2x MCC Greg Hjorth Open Champion (2023 & 2025)
- 2x Canterbury Summer Swiss Champion (2023 & 2024)
- 2x City of Sydney Rapid and Blitz Champion
- 2023 Ryde Eastwood Open Champion
- 2024 Australian Day Weekender Champion
- 2024 Australian Lightning Champion
- 2025 Australian Open Champion,
and winning various weekenders and blitz tournaments across NSW, VIC.
Online, I’ve reached a rating of 3000 on Lichess, Chesscom Blitz 3000 and have had the opportunity to challenge some of the world’s top grandmasters. My notable victories include games against GM Vincent Keymer, GM Daniil Dubov...
Whether competing, coaching, or simply playing for the love of the game, I’m always excited to connect with others and share the incredible journey chess offers. I look forward to inspiring the next generation of Australian players!
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I offer chess coaching for all levels—whether you're just starting out, looking to understand deeper strategies, or seeking to master detailed opening repertoires. Lessons typically range from 1 to 2 hours and are available both online and in person (depending on location and convenience).
I usually begin with a training game (any time format) or a review of the student’s past games. This helps me provide a clear evaluation of your strengths and areas for improvement, allowing us to create a personalized lesson plan that suits your goals and level.
Beyond general chess instruction, my true motivation lies in helping young students pursue their goals through structured study plans and targeted preparation. Several of my Vietnamese students have earned medals at National Youth Chess Championships, and I bring that same dedication and experience to every student I coach. I specialize in tailored opening preparation and practical blitz strategies, especially for students aiming to succeed at national or international youth events.
As an active and competitive player on the Vietnam National Youth Chess Team, I continue to represent my country in international tournaments. If you're aiming to compete and grow as a tournament player, I’d be excited to work together, share experiences, and support your journey in the world of chess.

I highly recommend Tri Kien Le as a chess coach. His patient and creative teaching approach, coupled with strong opening skills and proficiency in blitz, make him an exceptional mentor for aspiring chess players. His ability to tailor his instruction to individual learning styles ensures effective and enjoyable lessons for all.
Being one of his mates, I have received so much inspiration and excitement in chess whenever we have a match. Instead of acting as a teacher who strictly being narrow-minded, he interprets and gives hints for the best move slowly, respectfully, and impatiently. I love how he pays attention and appreciates every improvement. Thanks to that, the enjoyment from our games was valuable, which were informative and unstoppable, to be honest. If you need the one who is willing to point out your strengths, and your competency, he will definitely be your best mate. From my perspective, he is not only the best Candidate Master but also the most serious opponent
Kien is a competent coach who consistently achieves the goals of his students. Kien not only helps young kids who want medals and trophies, but he also helps casual chess players like me attain our goals! I contacted Kien with the goal of improving my online chess.com rating, and he exceeded my expectations! Kien taught me several useful techniques for playing blitz online and also exhibited his actual blitz playing style so that I could envision it. Kien has designed such a cool approach for me to learn the tips, which is Hand and Brain, which has really aided me in developing confidence and quick pattern regconition in blitz chess. Kien is an incredible mentor; by learning from him, you will be able to achieve your goals with 100% passion.
Tri Kien has been my friend for many years and I also had a few chess lessons with Tri Kien before. He is a funny, friendly type of teacher, which can make the lesson informative but also entertaining. He has more than 10 years of experience in the chess field. Kien always ensures that his students feel comfortable and able to understand the lessons. Moreover, having him as a chess tutor after a long day is relaxing so you can have a good time learning chess without worrying you will be stressed out studying new things. He used to give me some lessons before and I found each lesson valuable. He transferred the information through jokes and funny real-life examples so I could remember it for a long time. In addition to that, although the gap between our chess levels was big, he never made me feel disrespected while training. Overall, Kien is a great guy and a wonderful teacher, I highly recommend choosing Tri Kien to be your chess tutor.
