After an opening day thumping in Enniscorthy, the O’Sullivan racked up a big win of their own on Wednesday night.

After a rather late work schedule change, Mariusz has played his last two Heidenfeld games on his own, and in between the rest of the team playing their games. Last night, he started our round 5 tie against Rathmines B with his first defeat of the season (though he reckons he had a draw), while last Thursday, he rounded off a 6-2 win for the club against Phibsboro with victory over Colm Fitzpatrick. Mariusz was rather pleased with the win, describing it afterwards as one of his best ever wins – and here it is.
A deluge of points since Wednesday means St Benildus – for a few hours at least – are top of three separate divisions. Meanwhile, six of the 11 players with 100% winning records put them on the line – two of them twice – and four of the six remain.
One of the more interesting books in the club library actually contains snippets of club history going back 30 years…
The 2014 World Chess Championships get underway in Sochi today.
The Heidenfeld are joint top of the table after last night saw the match against Lucan finish off, while there’s a three-way tie going into the last round of the Frank Scott Shield.
There’s a rather interesting top board clash for the final round of the Frank Scott Shield!
A four-man Bodley went down to a narrow defeat in Drumcondra in their first proper away match of the season.
The O’Sullivan – with only four players, two of whom had never played a senior tournament before – went down to a 4½-½ defeat in Enniscorthy, a result which was maybe a bit harsh on us in the end.
