A few simple rules ... limitless possibilities

Vanessa Wong was second at the EYGC for a second year running. She lost, as last year, to Mateusz Surma from Poland who retained the under-16 title.

In the under-12s Roella won 2 games at 11k to place 13th and Kelda won 3 at 20k to place 41st.

As usual, many of the players in Dublin for the Irish Open congregated in the Teachers' Club on the Friday night for the Irish Rapid handicap tournament. The 26 players had to cope with the decreasing time limits and the handicap-plus-one games. Best at coping was Ian Davis (1 dan) from Belfast. Second, losing to Ian in the fifth round, was Jan Reichelt (1 kyu) from Germany.
The Irish Rapid handicap tournament on the Friday evening before the 22nd Irish Open was won by Ian Davis from Belfast.
All games played at handicap plus 1, with decreasing time limits.
Team leader Will Brooks lost again, but the team still beat Croatia thanks to wins from Matthew Madfadyen, Andrew Simons and Nick Krempel.
The 3-1 win puts the UK in a much safer position for avoiding relegation, nearing the end of the season.
