Kilkenny Congress 2010
by Gerry Graham
When this year’s Kilkenny Chess
Congress (26-28 November) got
under way in Butler House and the
Club House Hotel in Kilkenny, few
were expecting the Masters event to
be as strong as it was, an incredible
seven grandmasters from five
different countries were joined by
three Irish international masters and
a host of other strong players to
compete for the coveted Kilkenny
Masters title, not to mention the
honorary Kilkenny Jumper. Rumour
has it that the only way to prise one
of these precious garments out of
Jack Lowry’s hands these days is to
make a donation that would
embarrass the IMF!!
