The new Armstrong Cup season started on Monday. Over at Boards.ie there has been some speculation about the prospects, with the general opinion being that it will be hard to stop Gonzaga retaining the trophy.
In the opening match of the season, Elm Mount played host to Dublin and recorded a 6-2 win. We have the game from board 1, where Jonathan O’Connor recorded Dublin’s only win, versus David Fitzsimons. The diagram shows a critical point, where Jonathan has responded to 17. … f5? with 18. Ne4-d6.
