Ratings
  • FIDE ratings are from the July 2009 list.
  • ICU ratings are from the May 2009 list.
Clubs Club affiliations of Leinster-based players are taken from the LCU web site's Players Historic Results & Ratings pages.
Errata
  • The pgn files at irishchesschampionships.com and in the ICU tournament report and games archive (as of February 25, 2016) gave O'Leary–Murray as 1-0 in Rd. 4, instead of 0-1 in Rd. 3.
  • irishchesschampionships.com gave two versions of Brady-Daly (Rd. 5), with the second version diverging with 35 ... Nxg4+ 36 Qxg4. (Why not 36 hxg4, better for White?). The ICU tournament report and games archive (as of February 25, 2016) give only this second version.
  • Cafolla–Hayes was given in these sources as Rd. 3 instead of Rd. 4.
  • The ICU games archive gives two different versions of Cafolla–O'Leary (round 6), numbers 29422 and 29493. The latter version omits the moves 42. Bb2 Qf8+ 43. Bf6 Rg7 and seems the incorrect one.
  • TWIC 766 gave wrong dates (one day too early) for rounds 4-9.
Versions
  • v1.0: first posted version.
