Irish Chess Championships 2010

Mark Orr


Congratulations to Alex Lopez who is the 2010 Irish Champion. Philip Short was runner up while Ryan Griffiths and Rafael Rodriguez Lopez shared 3/4th.

Final Standings. Games. PGN.

Thanks to Michael Crowe, tournament controller, who put on another smooth show. Many thanks to Bryan Tobin who volunteered for the arduous task of typing the scoresheets into ChessBase (and Peter Scott who also helped). Also, thanks to the players who helped out by sending in their own PGN games: John Loughran, Anthony Fox, Peter Cafolla, Steven Brady, Ciaran Quinn, Seamus Duffy and Ryan Griffiths. There are till some games missing (see below) so if the players concerned could possibly send in the PGN (to ) that would be great.

In R8, John Redmond mistakenly thought the start time was one hour later than it actually was and, according to the rules, was forfeit, but his opponent, Alex Lopex, kindly agreed to play the game anyway and then produced probably the tournament's prettiest combination.
