A small international tournament in Ireland, which O’Kelly won convincingly. The local players were not strong enough to pose much of a threat to the foreigners, even though they were apparently (cf. [2]) selected via a preliminary tournament. The games come from [1] and [2]. I don’t really know what nationality I should put for Wade; in the 1954 olympiad, he played for the English team, but in the zonal tournament he represented Wales, and he was born in New Zealand.
