| Tie break |
Stephen Brady won on time in an equal position in round 9. If he had instead drawn, there would have been a three-way tie for first between Brady, Sam Collins, and Mark Heidenfeld. If the tie break system was the same as in 1994, i.e., a series of tie-breaks, starting with Buchholz, to determine a single champion, then Collins (49½) would have won, ahead of Brady (48), with Heidenfeld on 47. |
| Discrepancies |
For Brady - MacMahon, round 4, the version given in the Irish Examiner stops 1 ply short of the version given in the ICU games archive and in Big Database 2017. |
