Arnel Batungbakal whose last involvement in chess was two decades ago was tasked to form a competitive team. The Knights topped the North division in the inaugural round of the All-Filipino Conference, ending with an 11-0 record. However they lost two South division teams Iloilo and Negros, and Camarines in the second round. The team also lost in the Armageddon play.[1]
