Event information: Tournament report.

Note: “In three of my games from the 50+ Irish championship, I go to play suggestions from @Kaldas90 [Kamil Plichta]. None gave me a big advantage but all made my opponents go into the tank, trying to decide on the many options available. Thanks Kamil. I owe you another drink.” (Tweet). “Here's an early example of your QGD suggestion working in the field: [citing this game] I took my foot off the pedal, once I got my big position, and I was certainly lucky my opponent didn't push his b-pawn which could have made things difficult.” (Tweet).—Jonathan O'Connor, X / Twitter, January 8, 2024.
