New Ulster Champion crowned - Daniil Zelenchuk
The last of beautiful summer days. Chess in the top hotel - The Europa - lunch and good conversation in local restaurants and bars - what more could you ask for....
The senior section consisted of plenty of top players with 6 over 2000. With previous Ulster Champions and last years young defender Thomas Donaldson who returned from play in the British Championships in July with a good score of 2 points including a draw against an FM of rating 2247.(see full game click here).
A big thankyou goes to the team that allowed this event to take place - the Controllers Brendan Jamison, Ross Harris. the brilliant venue The Europa Hotel.
Behind the scenes our tech expert Adrian Dornford-Smith who setup and kept working the live boards and video feed.
Also thanks to all the players for some fantastic chess.
And what a brilliant result - Daniil Zelenchuk won the Ulster Championship - at 16 Daniil must be one of the youngest Champions.
The intermediate and junior Championships were well fought.

The Winners:
16 year old chess genius Daniil Zelenchuk was crowned the 2019 Ulster Champion, while the talented Dublin teenager Jacob Flynn took second place, Candidate Master Gabor Horvath finished third and Gareth Annesley scooped the Under 1900 Grading Prize. There was also a particular buzz in the air as Keith Allen (2207) returned to the tournament, a 6-time Ulster Champion who moved to the Isle of Man many years ago.
In the Intermediate section, after a 20 year absence from the local chess scene, Conor Spackman made a triumphant return as he walked away as the Ulster Intermediate Champion, with Gatis Barbals in second place and Chris Kelly won the Under 1550 Grading Prize. 18 year old bright spark Colm Hawkins became the Ulster Junior Champion, with Adrian Dornford-Smith closely behind in second place on tie-breaks, schoolboy Adam Rushe took the Under 1200 Grading Prize and Michael Wong won the Under 1050 Grading Prize.
