South East “All Stars” in Ireland (9 Apr 00)
A team of 10 junior chess players visited Dublin over the weekend to play chess against an Irish team (‘The Green Team’). The players were mostly from Sussex with a few friends. The top six boards played three rounds, and boards 7 – 10 played four. The Green team emerged as winners by 18½ to 15½. In the top Six, Charlie Linford performed admirably with 2 out of 3, but wasn’t supported by the others who only managed 2½ out of a possible 15 against their stronger opponents. The lower All Stars boards made up for this by scoring 11 out of 16.
Overall, the weekend was a great success, both for the players and their supporters. Thanks must be extended to the Irish for their hospitality.
