The Irish Women’s Championship took place in Buswells Hotel over the weekend. Ioana Miller won for the third consecutive year, winning all her games, also for the third consecutive year. And for the second consecutive year there were no draws among the 30 games played.
So much for the similarities; there were also significant differences. In particular this event was much stronger than last year’s, with the champion only barely the top seed over Trisha Kanyamarala. The critical game between these two saw the champion win with Black (game unfortunately not available).
17 of the 30 games are available, plus one fragment. These have been compiled into a report in the tournament section here.
