LI Joy Ching is a Hong Kong women's chess player and a Woman Candidate Master (WCM), born on 30 November 2007. She came to chess in her childhood, made her mark in local age-group events as a junior, and went on to join the Hong Kong, China national squad. In 2021 she represented Hong Kong at the FIDE Online Olympiad, placed in Division 4; the event was played online with teams divided into pools by strength, and she scored 10.0 points from her eleven games, a standout return that earned valuable points for the team and drew attention to the young player. In 2023 she was selected for the Hong Kong, China delegation to the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, competing in the chess events alongside a group of notably young teammates. On the records that can be verified, her FIDE standard rating stands at about 1623, with roughly 1407 in rapid and 1404 in blitz. She honed her play over the years in local and international junior events, her results improving steadily until she was awarded the Woman Candidate Master title by FIDE. Beyond these results and ratings, public information on how she learned the game, her coaches and her family background is limited and awaits confirmation.
