The Leinster championship 2006 has been added to the tournaments page. (Or rather, the Masters section of the Leinster championships, as there were three other sections.)
1st-2nd Karl McPhillips, GM Jan Votava (CZE), with Karl McPhillips champion on tie-break. 17 players, 6 rounds, 48 games played of which we have scores for 45 including at least two incomplete. There must have been something in the ICJ about this, but I don’t have access to those issues: if anyone has that information, please send it in.
This was a stronger event than most Irish championships, with some excellent chess.
UPDATE: v1.1 is now up, incorporating the ICJ report. This brings the total to 46 out of the 48 games, probably including one incomplete. (August 22.) 2nd update: v1.2 is now up: game dates have been corrected (were wrong year!) and the “Interesting games” selection modified. (August 24.)
Good report at pages 9-14 of the February 2007 ICJ. That issue is downloadable from the ICU website at http://www.icu.ie/icj/icj_0702.pdf
Thanks David. For some reason I have it fixed in my mind that only the September 2007 issue is available out of all the ‘old’ issues and it didn’t occur to me to look.
This makes interesting reading! I see that McPhillips-M. Quinn went 38. Rb1! instead of 38. Rc1 as given in the Phibsboro/ICU versions. This makes much more sense. (That’s why I wrote that Black must have been extremely short of time at the end, as that could be the only explanation in the 38. Rc1 version.)
Also I see that the ICJ report has the full score of Redmond-Collins, previously missing! Colm Daly had recommended this one but without game score. And there’s the full score of Daly-Redmond, rather than just the end.
I’ll run this through the system and will post an update in the next few days.
