In one of his unfortunately rare forays into competitive chess, Galway’s Brendan Buckley came fourth in the strong Dun Laoghaire Rapid last weekend, including a win against top seed (and eventual winner) Karl McPhillips. Full results and cross-table, and a brief report, are available on the ICU web-site, at http://www.icu.ie/articles/display.php?id=354. An excellent result by Brendan.
