In the first events - standard chess (individual and team) - Vietnam won a massive 30 gold medals, 14 silver medals and 19 bronze medals, with second-placed Philippines trailing far behind with just 5 gold medals and 12 silver medals! No fewer than 10 countries won medals, with Myanmar in third place, followed by New Zealand, hosts Thailand, India, Indonesia, China, Malaysia and Singapore. In the individual competition, most eyes were on the U-20 event, in which a GM norm and an IM title were achieved, and in the Open, IMs Daniel Quizon and Michael Concio Jr. of the Philippines took gold and silver ahead of Vietnam's Duc Tri Ngo, Malaysia's Jun Ying Tan and Thailand's Pin Laohawirapap, who all shared bronze. | Photos: Peter Long
