Spearheading the event is the ASTRO Rapid Team Championship with no less than 118 teams participating. In fact, the organisers had to reject even more teams due to space constraints in the ballroom hall of Cititel Mid Valley.
The winners of the team event was Chess Kidz Next Generation representing a chess school
in Singapore consisting of an all Filipino team led by their captain GM Jayson Gonzales
Right after the team event there follows the Swensen's Age Group Championship with over 400 kids participating.
