劉天儀

English

LIU Tian Yi is a Hong Kong women's chess player and a Woman Candidate Master (WCM), born in 2010. She showed a gift for the game in primary school and produced strong results in local age-group tournaments before being selected for the Hong Kong, China national squad, one of the young female players to emerge in recent years. In 2023, at only twelve years old, she was chosen for the Hong Kong, China delegation to the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, making her one of the youngest members of the territory's chess contingent, competing at the multi-sport Games alongside several players of similar age. The same year she also represented Hong Kong at the fifth National Mind Sports Games in Hefei, Anhui, gaining valuable experience on the national stage alongside teammates such as Jamison Kao and Eunice Fung. Competing at the Asian Games at twelve made her one of the youngest Hong Kong representatives ever, a sign of the youthful turn in the local game. On verifiable records her FIDE standard rating is about 1799, placing her around 42nd among Hong Kong players and among the higher-rated players of her age. She has continued to appear in local and international junior events, working to raise her ranking and reach higher goals. Beyond these results and ratings, public information on how she took up the game, her coaches and her family background is limited and awaits confirmation.
