to the 1949 series will remember one such thrilling adjournment between R.
Dundas (Connacht) and J. C. Hickey (Munster), where Dundas, two pawns down,
achieved the same classical draw as was so grimly contested between
Grandmasters Keres and Bondarewsky in 1939.&rdquo; The Keres - Bondarevsky
game reached a drawn R + BP + RP versus R ending. However, in the present
case, all other records point to Hickey as having won. }

Maher and Whelan each scored 1 out of 2 in rounds 5 and 6, and between them
played Barney and D&oacute;nal J. O'Sullivan. Whoever played Barney won,
and whoever played D&oacute;nal J. lost. The scores at the end of round 5
were Barney O'Sullivan 1, D&oacute;nal J. O'Sullivan 2&frac12;. Maher
1&frac12; plus this game, and Whelan 1 plus this game. It therefore seems
