This website inherited many features of another site called The Irish Chess Archive (TICA), which has subsequently been retired. However, there are still a few features which, through lack of time, have yet to be ported over. One of these, which has now been rectified, is the listing of Irish Championship statistics. To get to it, click on Tournaments (on the left) and then click on the link which appears below it, Irish Champs.
Listing the champions by number of wins shows that, by sharing this year's championship with Brian Kelly, Stephen Brady has moved up into the company of two of the greats of Irish chess: joint second with Wolfgang Heidenfeld but still three wins behind J.J.O'Hanlon, who won the title a total of nine times. O'Hanlon's record will be tough to beat but provides Stephen another ambition besides the IM title.
