Cathal Murphy and Martin Kelly playing at the City of Dublin Majors.

Two games played by both players - winning with the Vienna Gambit.

A full list of the games of Martin Kelly and Cathal Murphy at the City of Dublin Major appear elsewhere in the UCU website (click here). But I find it amusing that the best games of these players were both Viennas and they are instructive and interesting.  There's no "Fagan" this result!
