Irish Championship 1994, Revisited

For the Irish Championship 1994, David McAlister has provided an avalanche of new information, for which many thanks. All tournament reports here are updated from time to time, to correct errors, incorporate new information, and add analysis, but I cannot recall any previous occasion in which so many changes were made in each of these categories so soon after the initial post.

The initial version of the report showed one game as missing: a Devenney – Nicholson game from round 9. David points out that they had already played in round 7, and almost certainly did not play in the last round. The Pairings & results and Crosstable pages have been adjusted accordingly, including changing their scores.

David has also supplied the extensive tournament report that appeared in the Irish Chess Journal shortly after the event, the ICU rating list from that issue, club affiliations for four more players, names of the arbiters, and a new suggestion for the finish of Orr – A. Gillen, round 9, that improves on the analysis given (see previous post and the playable game).

Some notes have been added to games based on the ICJ report, and in some cases new analysis has been added, not necessarily agreeing with the ICJ (see here for one example).

Many thanks again to David for all this information.
