Short
report.
Doing some spring-cleaning recently, I came across a small cache of seven
copies of a numbered, limited edition (100) of the tournament booklet of the
1997 Leinster International Masters edited by myself (44 pages, A5, won
by GM N.McDonald 7.5/9. Other participants: IM (now GM) Summerscale, IM
Etchegaray, S.Brady, C.Daly, M.O'Cinneide, J.Ryan, A and S. Gillen, FM
Lehitvaara).
One is reserved for Jim McCarthy (apologies Jim for the three
year delay!) but the others are available for £6 each postage included, all
monies to go towards the 2000 Glorney and Faber fund. Send me a cheque, or
book by email.
The Irish Chess Union hosts this year's Glorney and Faber cups which will attract some of the strongest young chess talents from eight countries to compete in Dublin this summer (Sunday 23rd July to Friday 28th July). Teams of the best eight U-18 junior chess players (five boys , three girls) from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands will compete for the Glorney (boys) and Faber (girls) Cups over five days in Dublin City University.
