Alltogether 22 players from East and South East Asia, America and Europe played five rounds in two categories Under-16 and Under-12, and the best four played out the championship in semifinals and finals. The winners of both sections came from China: Lǐ Zéruì (1p, Under-16) and Xiào Zébīn (6d, Under-12). During the medieval farewell banquet, both winners were knighted by the jester of the castle.

Stahleck Castle is an old castle in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, which is a Unesco World Heritage site. Besides playing the World Championship, the children enjoyed many activities such as archery, abseiling from the castle walls, or riding on a sommerrodelbahn (Alpine slide) down the famous Loreley rock as well as playing friendly matches and relay go with young players from Germany.
