MALAYSIA won the title as first winner of the Asian Cup by defeating Hong Kong in the final match in a close match. Players enjoyed games in a fair and friendly atmosphere without any acccident, serious injury, or suspension of players.

Thanks go to the Organizing Committee for their kind consideration for elderly players of Grand Masters by providing game time early in the morning.
