In its the first year in first division, the Viking Chess Club became Chess Club Champion of Iceland, thus breaking TB four year domination of the title.
Having won promotion in the last 3 previous years – from 4th division to 1st division – the Viking Chess Club exactly repeated the success achieved by the Hrokurinn chess club at the turn of the millennium.

The team composition of the Viking Chess Club was the following:
GM Pavel Eljanov, GM Bartosz Socko, GM Grzegorz Gajewski, GM Marcin Dziuba, GM Hannes Hlífar Stefánsson, GM Stefán Kristjánsson, IM Björn Thorfinsson, FM Magnús Örn Úlfarsson and FM Davíð Kjartansson.
