Vietnam dominated the 11th ASEAN Age-Group Chess Championship (Standard Chess), virtually transforming Subic into a Vietnamese turf.
The visiting Vietnamese contingent produced 25 gold, 23 silver and 19 bronze medals to solidify its international prestige as the new chess powerhouse in age-group competitions in Southeast Asia.
The host Philippines came far second with 8 gold, 5 silver, and 9 bronze medals.
In last year's edition of the ASEAN Age Group Championships, Vietnam (the host) also dominated the overall medal tally with 31 (gold), 29 (silver), and 26 (bronze). The Philippines came in second with 2 (gold), 5 (silver) and 7 (bronze).
Categories in the rapid and blitz will still be played, but I think winning in the standard category summed it all.
