The Asian Dragons Invitational Tournament was inaugurated in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 2007, being the first international chess tournament organized by Chinese Taipei Chess Association. The original purpose of the tournament was to provide opportunity for developing players with ratings below 2200 to compete against players with similar strength, offering them a friendly yet competitive environment. With this purpose in mind, the tournament was played in two sections – the Open section and Under 16 section, with players coming from Macau, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea and the host federation, Chinese Taipei.
After many years of success, the host federation received numerous requests for participation from federations other than those mentioned above. Starting from 2013, we invited other federations if the free quota is not fully used. At the same time, we openly welcome players from all over the world. Thus, the name of the tournament has been changed to Asian Dragons International Invitation Chess Tournament since 2013.
