Daire Barns

The tournament was the most professional one we have attended in Ireland so far. The playing area was a pleasure to be in. Plenty of space and natural light. The name tags with the players country flag were a lovely touch with many taking them home as souvenirs. We absolutely loved the live boards and the Diana Mirza commentary. So accessible for all to see. And especially the fact that these were recorded for viewing by the players later. The Chessable pens came in very handy! There was also fresh water and drinking glasses available for all. The tournament was run on time. I’m sitting here now looking at the professional photos taken during the games and they are amazing. Definitely the best tournament so far!
