City of Dublin Chess Championship 2010

The above tournament was run last weekend at the Academy Hotel, Dublin. The eventual winner was GM Nick Pert with 5/6. Our own Colm Daly came clear second with 4.5/6 ahead of IM Sam Collins.

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel as the event is very well covered on the City of Dublin site. I just wanted to highlight Colm Daly's play in this event. I begin by presenting his game against Sam Osbourne:

He just demolished Sam's King's Indian Defence. Next is his nice draw against GM Nick Pert:

Fine games - displaying clear logical play throughout. I can't wait to see the Irish games in the Olympiad.
