Just a few months after losing his World Title crown, Vishy Anand has qualified to challenge Magnus Carlsen in the next title match later this year.
Two decent seasons in the Bodley have given the club plenty of ratings gains.
There were two matches up the club last night, with neither quite going to plan…
OK, technically it was Dundrum, but they merged with St Benildus a few years later, and one of the players on the team is still playing with us, so we’ll claim it!
The Irish teams for the 41st Olympiad, to be held in Tromsø in the autumn, have been announced.
The first day of coaching for the Irish Junior squad will be held on 23rd March from 11am to 5pm at the Hilton Hotel Kilmainham. The designated coach is FM David Fitzsimons. For more info contact the Junior Officer – juniors@icu.ie.
The Benildus players in the squad are Mihailo Manojlovic, Anastasija Manojlovic, Ross Beatty and Alex Byrne
An understrength Armstrong went down by the narrowest of margins for the second match in a row, and our chances of repeating last season’s fourth place are fading.
We’re planning to hold a Swiss blitz tournament up the club tonight, starting about 8:15. With that and the Bodley and the new clocks not in yet, we may be a bit short of clocks for everyone. If you have one at home and would be able to bring it up for this evening, it’d be much appreciated!
After being unceremoniously dumped out of the promotion race two weeks ago, the O’Hanlon bounced back to win in Finglas last night.
