Canadian chess player (born 1982)
Lefong Hua is a Canadian chess player, coach, and Twitch streamer.
Hua began playing chess at the age of 6, and was coached by Richard Bérubé.[1]
In 1992, Hua finished in 5th place in the World Youth Chess Championship alongside Levon Aronian, Alexander Grischuk, and Étienne Bacrot.[2]
Hua is a 10-time winner of the Quebec Chess Challenge and an 8-time winner of the Canadian Chess Challenge.[1][3]
In addition to his Twitch channel, LefongHua,[4] Hua is a featured member of the “Chessbrah” chess channel on Twitch, hosted by grandmasters Eric Hansen and Aman Hambleton.[5] The tongue-in-cheek chess term “Lefong” or “Lefonged” is named after him, which is a gambit that aims to catch an opponent pre-moving a bishop fianchetto in the opening, typically in games with very short time controls.[6]
