How he plays
He is hardest to beat with red. Since July 2025 he has lost two of his twenty-one red games, both on one day of an open qualifier in Shanghai.
He has no single opening. His 25 red games here start four different ways, with the central cannon, the Palcorner Cannon, a horse or a soldier, and each of them comes up at least five times.
He plays the long game. Talking to Sportsoho in 2023, he said that neither he nor his senior Wong Hok Him is the kind of player who goes for the kill from the opening; both like to draw a game out and keep the threat hidden, a needle in the cotton. His longest win here ran 81 moves.
Asian Individual Championship, Manila
He is in Manila this week for the 21st Asian Individual Championship, which runs to 8 October. His games there will be added to this page when it ends.
China league qualifier, Hangzhou
Teams outside China's top league play a qualifier to get in. Hong Kong sent a team to Hangzhou from 17 to 19 August, and Fung played all five rounds. He won four and drew the other, on the first day. Zhejiang Mintai and Cao Yanlei's Shanghai Jiahong went through.
| Round | Opponent | Colour | Result |

| 1 | Wang Dayu | Red | Win |
| 2 | Zheng Yichen | Red | Draw |
| 3 | Lu Hao | Red | Win |

Five Rams Cup, Guangzhou
The Five Rams Cup in Guangzhou (五羊杯) invites China's national champions and runs a qualifying group for players from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Fung won it in January. He beat Chao Yi-fan of Chinese Taipei with a win and a draw, then drew two slow games with his Hong Kong teammate Wong Hok Him and went through when Wong ran out of time in the rapid playoff.
In the final stage in February he drew with black against China's Meng Fanrui, whom he had also held to a draw at the world championship in Shanghai. Wang Yubo then beat him twice, and the cup went to Cheng Yudong. The whole event is in the broadcast archive.

2022 World Championship, Kuching
The championship ran in Kuching, in Sarawak, from 24 to 28 October 2022, eight rounds and then a final between the top two. Fung won five, drew two and lost one, and finished level with Vietnam's Nguyễn Thành Bảo on 12 points, ahead on tiebreak. He lost the final to China's Wang Tianyi. Second place equalled Hong Kong's best result at a world championship, Wong Hok Him's in 2019.
The win that put him in the final came in round eight, with black, against Cheng Yin Lung, his Hong Kong teammate and the man he would beat again in the Hong Kong Open final two and a half years later.
Lại Lý Huynh, who won the title in 2025 and has his own page, drew with Fung in round six, and again at the Asian Games a year later.
