| Pairings & results |
The 112 games available from ChessBase leave several gaps. The missing pairings in the final round can be inferred from the note in TICA (see Sources above). Tim Harding provided his results from rounds 1 and 2 via email (see Sources), for which thanks. This left missing results for Ann Delaney and Gareth Lewis for round 1; since Lewis scored 1 and Delaney ½, these could only have been full and half-pont byes respectively. |
| Record |
Brian Kelly became the youngest-ever Irish champion, at 16 years, 8 months, beating the previous record of John Moles (b. September 22, 1949), who won the Irish championship in 1966 (July 9-17). (Note that ages in "Pairings & results" are rounded by treating all birthdays as occurring on January 1.) |
| Games |
As of December 15, 2020, the ICU games archive had 1 game from round 1 (Killane - Nicholson), none from round 2, 6 from round 3 (Kelly - S. Brady, Hurley - Daly, Moynihan - Harding, Ryan - Peart, MacElligott - Delaney, and Roberts - Fox), and all games from rounds 4-9 (83 games in all). |
