Indonesia menempati urutan ketiga di kedua section kejuaran catur Zona Asia 3.3 yang berlangsung di Tagaytay Filipina 2013. Di daerah Asia Tenggara ini, akhir hasil menunjukkan pertarungan antara Vietnam, Filipina dan Indonesia dalam bersaing menguasai pangsa pasar catur. Hasil akhir tersebut menunjukkan Vietnam masih memiliki kekuatan catur terkuat sekarang dengan menempatkan dua pemain sebagai pemenang kejuaran catur ini. GM Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son yang merupakan pecatur kedua terbaik di Vietnam sekarang berhasil meraih posisi pertama. Pecatur terbaik Vietnam sekarang GM Le Quang Liem justru bermain di turnamen bergengsi di Gibraltar Eropa. GM Wesley So dari Filipina menempati peringkat kedua, sedangkan pecatur Indonesia GM Megaranto Susanto harus puas di posisi ketiga. Dengan hasil ini, Indonesia tidak berhasil menempatkan pecatur untuk tampil di kejuaraan Catur Dunia berikutknya, karena dua pecatur terbaik saja yang mendapatkan hadiah tiket kualifikasi kejuaraan catur dunia tersebut.

Di bagian puteri kedudukan serupa juga terjadi. Vietnam di posisi pertama, Filipina posisi kedua dan Medina Aulia Warda ada di posisi ketiga. Medina meninggalkan rekan lain seperti Chelsie Monica, Dewi AA Citra dan Ummi Fisabilillah yang mengakhiri turnamen di bagian agak buntut. Dari hasil ini, kejutan terjadi di posisi kedua di mana pecatur yang tidak tidak diunggulkan dan tidak bergelar dari Filipina yaitu Galas Bernadette menunjukkan taringnya dengan meraih posisi kedua tersebut. Saingan puteri baru di kancah pertarungan catur puteri Asia Tenggara. Ironisnya, Medina mengalahkan Galas di babak pertama.

Berikut partai menarik dari GM Megaranto Susanto melawan GM Mark Paragua di babak / round 8. Di mana sejak pembukaan Susanto sudah memegang posisi baik. Pertarungan terbuka yang sangat menegangkan karena permainan perwira menengah antara putih dan hitam yang dimenangkan putih. PGN, pembukaan Slavia / Slav Defence D18 :
