Unlike in 2007 there were two separate team events as part of Asian Indoor Games: rapid (25+5) and blitz (5). There were 15 teams in the rapid event and top four teams came info the semifinal phase easily: China, Vietnam, India and Uzbekistan. In the semifinals China steamrolled over Uzbekistan while hosts Vietnam narrowly edged out India. China beat Vietnam 5-3 in the grand final. GM Ni Hua scored 8/8 at board #2. |
