Ambassador H.E. Shri @AkhileshIFS had a meeting with Mr. Bharat Singh Chuhan, Chairman of @FIDE_chess Advisory board, Mr. Desmond Beatty, Chairperson of @IrishChessUnion (ICU), Mr. Jonathan O’Conor, FIDE delegate for Ireland and Mrs. Nandita Kanyamarala, PRO for ICU.
Honored to have represented Ireland at the Chess Olympiad in Budapest! It was an incredible experience competing on the world stage. A huge thank you to everyone who supported and cheered us on during this journey! @FIDE_chess @IrishChessUnion
Onward and upwards for this young team! #ChessOlympiad2024
The Irish women’s team finished above their seeding in 57th place after a final round win over Nicaragua 3.5-0.5. Lara made it 5 wins from 5 over the second half of the event and @toshqueen1 claimed a WCM title with her score of 4.5/9. Great job team!
Tom and Tarun were our standout performers on the open side finishing with 6.5/9 and 6/10 respectively and 2496 and 2420 rating performances! Well done guys
Our open team finished with a convincing 4-0 over Lebanon meaning we had 5 match wins, 2 draws and 4 losses over the two weeks which was good enough for a 66th place finish. Our two draws against the 20th and 37th seeds were the standout results! Well done team! #ChessOlympiad
Congrats to India on winning the open section of the #chessolympiad; led by 2 insane 3000 rating performances from Arjun and Gukesh. It could be a long time until they are dislodged from the world’s top 5 players..
It’s a WFM title for Lara Putar after 4 fantastic wins in a row against tough opposition takes here from 2/4 to 6/8! 66% or better from 9 games is required for the WFM title in Olympiads which means even a loss tomorrow will secure the title. Huge congrats, Lara! #ChessOlympiad
What a round from the Irish women’s team who hold the 29th seeded Cuban team to a 2-2 draw thanks to wins from Trisha and Lara. Lara showed nerves of steel and was again last to finish as she defeated a former world top 15 girl to seal the draw! #ChessOlympiad

A stunning photo of our team courtesy of @StevBonhage - our women’s team are coming into form just at the right time with 3 match wins over the last 4 rounds including a 4-0 win over Zimbabwe today! Diana has won her last 3 games (4.5/6) & Alice her last 2 (3.5/6). Cuba tomorrow!
The Irish open team have climbed into the top 50 with 4 rounds to go at the 2024 #ChessOlympiad. Today they defeated Ecuador 3-1 with wins for Alex and Tom. After 6 games, Tom is on 4.5 with a 2500+ rating performance! 🔥
Join myself and IM Mark Quinn at twitch.tv/chessbudireland
Incredible result for our open team (seeded 64th) as they draw with the 20th seeded team! Tom was player of the day as he produced a near perfect game to defeat 2630 rated GM Nabaty while Tarun produced a stunning comeback to defeat 2543 rated GM Gorshtein. Greece up tomorrow 🇬🇷
The Irish Open team (not photogenic so far) will play the 20th seeds today.. Alex is rested. They were given a stern test by Fiji in round 1 with an eventual winning score of 3.5-0.5 - Alex drawing and Tom rested. Conor Murphy has moved to 8.5/10 for his Olympiad career.
The Irish women’s team got off to a perfect start at the #Olympiad - defeating Cameroon 4-0, with Trisha having the day off. They will play Vietnam who have a very strong team from 3pm today, with Tosia rested. Best of luck Trisha, Alice, Diana and Lara!
@GMAlexColovic @davidllada The @IrishChessUnion basically picks the 5 highest rated players. There's some activity requirements and the selection committee does have wriggle room but only if 2 players are within 25 Elo. Rules are only changed at AGMs, active after the next olympiad.
IM Mark Quinn and I will be starting our commentary at 15:30 for the penultimate round. We'll be joined later by 9-time Irish Champion, Stephen Brady. @IrishChessUnion @Ficheall_ie
