The experience team was composed of some of the best non-masters of Davao region while the Youngstars team was composed of the new crop of Davao chess stars who are incidentally, residents of Toril District, Davao City.

Although the final score appears to be lopsided, the match was exciting and highly competitive according to event organizer Atty. Jong Guevarra Jr. Yet in fact, the Youngstars had been defeating us with regularity in " Ubusan " chess matches hence the grudge match.

One year from now the result would surely be different as the young players continue to gain strenght and maturity in their play according to CM Jimmy Dano who counted GM's Joey Antonio and Mark Paragua as among his victims in tournament play.
