History of tournament and previous winners

Cork Chess Congress moved to the Gresham Metropole Hotel in 2001 after being held in the Club's premises for the previous eight years.

Since then the Congress has steadily grown in strength and popularity and we would like to acknowledge the support given by the Gresham Metropole Hotel to the Congress during these years.
