Chan Chun Kit is a Hong Kong xiangqi (Chinese chess) player and coach, an International Grandmaster and one of only six Hong Kong players to hold the territory's top international grandmaster ranking, alongside Chiu Yu Kuen, Leung Tat Man, Wong Hok Him, Yung Tak Keung and Fung Ga Zen. He has won the Hong Kong individual championship (top division) four times, in 2009, 2011, 2015 and 2016; under the Hong Kong Xiangqi Association's rules, a top-three finish in the top division earns ranking points, with ten points conferring the Hong Kong Grandmaster qualification. In 2012 he took bronze in the men's individual xiangqi event at the World Mind Sports Games in Lille, France. In 2023 he was named to the Hong Kong, China delegation for the xiangqi events at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, playing with Fung Ga Zen, Wong Hok Him and Lam Ka Yan in the mixed team event, where Hong Kong took bronze; xiangqi, which had featured at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, returned to the programme at that edition, and the bronze formed part of the territory's 53 medals - eight gold, 16 silver and 29 bronze. He is now vice-principal of the Hong Kong Chess and Go Youth Training Academy, whose coaching team is led by principal and head Go coach Tsang Ping Fai, running chess courses and youth squads. Chan has competed across the region for many years and, after his playing career, turned to coaching and youth development.
