Niall O'Shea. } { After getting a tough game in Round 1 and starting to get
back into playing competative chess, I was feeling confident, although I
know Nikita is a good player when on form.............. My calculating
ability started to come back and seeing the move ..... ........... 16. e5
was the critical line but I needed to see 22. Ng4 in my calculations.....
finding this line won me the game...... Nikita said he missed this Ng4 in
his calculations. }

via Sligo C.C. web site. } { &ldquo;The Final Round where only a Win was
good enough to get 1st place. I decided to go all out for the win and play
some type of gambit I was unfamiliar with......... On move 25 in an equal
position my opponent offered a draw. Most people dont remember the 2nd man
on the moon so I decided to go for glory. ...............I tried a bit too
hard and my opponent was too sharp to let me away with it.
................. I was deliged to have given it my best go, and there was
no better person to lose to. Lukian had played an excellent tournament and
was a deserved winner.&rdquo;&mdash;Niall O'Shea. }
