Ten years of IRLchess

This website turned 10 years old last Tuesday: the first post was on June 15, 2011. See Monthly archives, June 2011 for the first few posts. (For the post at the top of that page, click on the title for the corrected version.)

This is the 430th post in all, between the three of us; many thanks first and foremost to my fellow posters David McAlister and Tony Doyle.

Many thanks also to the many people who have contributed material, including games, tournament and match records, entry forms, photographs, annotations, and corrections. I apologise profusely to anyone I am leaving out here, but in addition to David McAlister, who has contributed in one way or another to virtually every item on the entire website, I have received huge amounts of material from John Gibson, Alan Ludgate, and J. J. Walsh, along with contributions from Kevin O’Connell, Martin Crichton, Pete Morriss, Gerry Graham, Gerry MacElligott, Jack Killane, Herbert Scarry, Philip Doyle, Jonathan O’Connor, Tim Harding, Colm Daly, David Kennedy, Oliver Dunne, Owen O’Mahony, Jim Johnston, Seán Terry, Ivan Baburin, Alan McGowan, Tony Gillam, John McMahon, Frank McMahon, Tom O’Neill, Andy Ansel, P.
