Cheng Yin Lung is a Hong Kong xiangqi (Chinese chess) player. A member of a newer generation of Hong Kong players, he competed in the men's individual event at the 17th World Xiangqi Championship, held in Sarawak, Malaysia, in 2022. In 2023 he was named to the Hong Kong, China delegation for the xiangqi events at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou; the xiangqi programme featured a mixed team event and men's and women's individual events, and Hong Kong fielded Chan Chun Kit, Cheng Yin Lung, Fung Ga Zen, Wong Hok Him and Lam Ka Yan. Xiangqi, which had featured at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, returned to the programme at that edition, and Hong Kong, China took 53 medals in all - eight gold, 16 silver and 29 bronze. In the Hong Kong individual championship (top division) he defeated the multiple-time champion Wong Hok Him to take the title for the first time; the top-level event uses an '8+1' format, with eight rounds of Swiss play followed by a final between the top two. Under the Hong Kong Xiangqi Association's rules, a top-three finish in the top division earns ranking points, with five points conferring the 'Hong Kong Master' qualification. In 2025 he won the first Hong Kong Xiangqi Championship, beating Wong Hok Him in a final that lasted nearly five hours and 111 moves. Cheng has in recent years been an active member of the Hong Kong representative squad, competing regularly in local and international events. Public information remains limited, so his year of birth, playing history and club are still to be documented.
