Cork City Chess Club

I have been a member of Cork City Chess Club since September 2002 and last season played for the C-Team in the Munster B league. More information here.

I am in charge of the club's web pages (CorkChess.com). If anyone is thinking of popping down to the club I would recommend it. We meet in the Cork Bridge Club building on Patrick's Quay on Friday nights from about 8pm on.

Bunratty Chess Festival 2003

I participated in the 2003 Bunratty Chess Festival in the Major section, scoring 3 out of 6, and generally enjoying myself (apart from an unfortunate match with a drunk that is). You can go to the Bunratty Chess Festival homepage and go to the results from Bunratty 2003

For those who are interested in these things I've got my games up for you to see at this page: Mark Watkins' games from Bunratty 2003 html), or the PGN file can be downloaded here (My games from Bunratty 2003 in PGN format).

The html version of the chess games was generated by the excellent tool Palview3. Go to Palview's homepage
