Your country needs you Mr. Truong. Here is your chance to go back. If you work on it, you might even make the top-20 in your country: http://www.thanhniennews.com/sports/?catid=5&newsid=37432 Your country needs you. Time to do your patriotic duty. Int'l chess institute to be built in south Vietnam A chess institute will be built in the southern province of Ba Ria- Vung Tau to train players from around the Asian region, the provincial Department of Sports announced. Under an agreement between Vung Tau authorities and World Chess Federation (FIDE) Secretary General Ignatius Leong, the chess center will offer training in three kinds of chess, including chess, Chinese chess and shogi, or Japanese chess. Vung Tau authorities have agreed to grant a 6,000-square-meter plot ofland for the institute. Leong plans to invite FIDE President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov to attend a ceremony to lay the first stone for the institute's construction. The ceremony is scheduled to coincide with Ilyumzhinov's visit to Vung Tau for the opening ceremony of the world youth chess championships in mid-October. Shogi is the most popular of a family of chess variants native to Japan. Unique to the Japanese forms of chess are the drops, moves whereby captured enemy pieces are returned into play as ally pieces. Source: SGGP

Unfortunately, "you can't go home again". Southern Vietnam is no longer the Republic of Vietnam; instead, it was conquered by North Vietnam, who annexed it to their cruel and brutal Communist dictatorship. If there were some way he could help to bring about the downfall of that regime, and restore freedom to Vietnam - THAT would be doing his patriotic duty. Acting as a shill for its dictators, helping them to pretend that Vietnam is a respectable member in the community of nations - that is not helping the Vietnamese people, that is treason to them.
