An extensive series of articles by Tony Foley [1] gives pretty much all the details one would want about the organisation of the tournament. [2] gives a game, but with some notational errors. Two more games come from [3], one from [4], and one from [5]. All in all, this was a beautiful victory for O’Kelly.
