This Week's ChessVideos Show: Attacking Chess in Vietnam

For this week's show, I found a very impressive attacking game from the recently completed Vietnamese Championship. It's exciting and entertaining, and it's also a good game for training purposes (I pause a number of times to challenge the viewers to find the right moves).

Have a look here: the show is free (free registration required) and available on-demand for the next month or so.

"Bui" is pronounced like the word "buoy."

"Nguyen" and "Vinh" is pronounced pretty much like you said it.

FYI: Full Vietnamese names are often said backwards-- last name, middle name, and then first name.

CobraCommander- I'm afraid your comment doesn't illuminate fully as Americans and British pronounce the word 'buoy' in totally different ways.

We British just say 'BOY', while most Americans appear to say 'BUU-IY' (or am I wrong? I first noticed this on an old episode of Seinfeld). Which pronounciation are you referring to?

Nick Funnell - You are correct.

Sorry, I didn't realize "buoy" had an alternate pronunciation.

"Bui" is pronounced like "bü-ē."
