[edit] Irish chess

Supposed pub game with no evidence that anyone plays it. This is another one of my own articles (again created under an IP, but this time because I forgot to log in), and this one I can't plead ignorance for; I hoped when creating it that either I or someone else would find references at a later date. I've tried three separate times on Google and failed to find a single mention, so I guess it's just not played by many people. Even if it can be proved that I did create it, please don't G7 speedy it as I still have a vain hope that someone will have heard of it under a different name.

• Delete per nomination. Durova 14:18, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete at nominator's request --- SockpuppetSamuelson 14:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I specifically requested not to, and the article (by accident) wasn't created under my username anyway. --Malthusian (talk) 15:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Should add that I bolded 'please don't' in my nomination only after SPS had posted. --Malthusian (talk) 16:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete or, if any material can be found, merge with Mornington Crescent. I've never heard of Irish Chess, but I have 'played' MC with 'pieces' like this article describes. Robin Johnson 15:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unverifiable. Certainly I've never seen anything like it in an Irish pub - we take our drinking far too seriously for that sort of time-wasting distraction. Dlyons493 Talk 21:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Fidchell perhaps? --AnonymousCowherd 21:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment That's a thought. Don't do any merging though! Dlyons493 Talk 22:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect per AnonymousCowherd. I suspect people play this game somewhere in Ireland but I'm not able to find any reliable sources either. Stifle 01:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
