For those people unable to attend various chess events within Ireland, there is now a chance to see at least some of the action from these events, and also to see some of the top Irish players competing. Of course this is not as good as actually being there to absorb the tension and sometimes minor drama of live games, but at least you can get some sense of things from video clips from these events.
The latest update for the ICU YouTube channel features three sets of videos. These include:
- 2010 Dun Laoghaire Centenary Master Tournament
- 2010 City of Dublin Championships
- Leinster Leagues/Armstrong Cup
The latter features key games involving the winning Armstrong Cup team, Kilkenny.
These updates, along with the ever growing library of video footage from Irish chess events will let you see a large selection of the top Irish players in action. For example, using YouTube you can see players like:
Plus many more familiar and regular players on the Irish chess scene. There will also be coverage of the upcoming Cork tournament a few days after the event. So don't forget to check out the ICU YouTube channel.
