This page was only maintained because it is the address given for Ireland
in the book "ICCF Gold" and the new "ICCF Diamond" website that is now being constructed.
The old ICCA website, which was hosted and designed elsewhere for some years, has not been updated since 2007 so we are taking it back and will revive it in 2012. There is no entry fee to join the ICCA but you must either be an Irish citizen or resident of Ireland (North or South).
At present we are not arranging any tournaments but we run Irish national teams in ICCF events and facilitate entries for Irish players. Normally you should enter tournaments direct on the ICCF webserver and ICCA receives a small credit for each entry which coveres our expenses. Please only enter tournaments for which the server allows you to pay your entry fee directly to ICCF.
Congratulations to John M. T. Ryan. John was awarded the title of International Master of Correspondence Chess at the 2011 I.C.C.F. Congress. He is now playing board 1 in the current European team Championship, hope to achieve the further SIM norm he needs to complete his qualification for Senior International Master. This was a long haul for John who achieved the first two norms in postal tournaments, the first beginning in 1995.
AND to Ciaran O'Hare! Ciaran was awarded the CC-IM title at the 2009 ICCF Congress and has now earned the upgrade of his title to Senior International Master, which he shopuld be awarded in 2012. Irish OTB players of the mid-1970s may remember Ciaran, who is now a surgeon in Oklahoma. He is acting as captain for our olympiad team.
