My Predictions

1st Dublin university
2nd Gonzaga
3rd Elm Mount

Sparks · 17-09-2014 9:22pm

Oh, I don't know, I reckon there could be contention for one of the top three placed from Benildus...

L1m1tless · 17-09-2014 9:24pm

Maybe so! It will be fun to see how right or wrong I am come April.

Sparks · 17-09-2014 9:25pm

Well, if you're not having fun... eh, you're probably doing it wrong

cdeb · 18-09-2014 12:19am

Predictions sounds fun!

1 - Gonzaga. Has to be their year - surely?
2 - Trinity. As strong as last year by all accounts.
3 - St Benildus

4 - Elm Mount

Relegation -
11 - Phibsboro? Could be in trouble if that flyer at the City of Dublin is anything to go by. Rathmines have shown recently no club is too big to go down
12 - Elm Mount B. Always hard to look beyond the Bs in the Armstrong in particular

First result - Balbriggan 0-1 St Benildus (rest of the games on Saturday)

1. St Benildus - addition of Steven Brady could make the difference. Are there bottom/middle boards strong enough tho?
2. Gonzaga - Where else!
3. Trinity - Loss of Juri Firstov will be a big blow

11.Dun Laoghaire - Expect the second relegation place to between Dun L, Phibsboro and Dublin.
12. Elm Mount B - Will surely lose every game but still pick up a few points off every team.

cdeb · 20-09-2014 7:12pm

St Benildus 4½-2½ Balbriggan with one game to come.

eclipsechaser · 21-09-2014 12:08am

Gonzaga in 2nd is the only thing I'd be sure about.

EnPassant · 22-09-2014 11:40pm

Elm Mount A 5 Elm Mount B 3

macelligott · 23-09-2014 2:20am

Elm Mount B 3-5 Elm Mount A
To say I'm not happy would, clearly, be an understatement !

I'll bet you didn't hang your queen while two pawns up like I did though.

Any word on the Kilkenny Phibsboro match?

Trinity 4.5-3.5 Bray

cdeb · 08-11-2014 3:59pm

St Benildus v Kilkenny postponed due to the death of John Bradley.

Wrote a series of lovely articles on the history of Kilkenny Chess Club only this year.

Will be a loss for the game, and for Kilkenny as a club - and only a couple of weeks before the Kilkenny Congress too.

RIP.

Arrangements:

Reposing at Oliver Reilly Funeral Home, Leinster Street, Maynooth, from 2pm today.

eclipsechaser · 10-11-2014 9:36pm

Gonzaga 7 - 1 Elm Mount B.

Very sad to hear of John's passing. I'll miss his oratory at the end of the Kilkenny Congress.

macelligott · 11-11-2014 2:27am

Armstrong round 4
Elm Mount 5.5-2.5 Dublin

wine and final destination · 18-11-2014 10:22pm

When will the rearranged match between Benildus and Kilkenny be played?

cdeb · 18-11-2014 10:53pm

TBC, but looking like 13th December.

checknraise · 27-11-2014 9:37am

Trinity 5 Elm Mount 3

Gonzaga 7 Bray 1

cdeb · 27-11-2014 10:09am

Bloody hell. Gonzaga are flying. 28½ points in their last four games. Must be a record?

(I know we were pretty pleased with 27 points in four games in 2009/10!)

It'll make coming 2nd all the more difficult to take...

cdeb · 05-12-2014 10:42am

Rathmines 1½-6½ St Benildus

Bit harsh on Rathmines apparently.

Included a knight and bishop mate!
