Start List-from Hungarian Chess Federation
Playing Site; More info Geniusz Sakk and BenyedaChess
There are 63 players so far (with thirteen 2000+) for a strong field as a warmup for the Budapest Open later this month. 

There are five unrated players who will be collected enough games to earn their first FIDE ratings. This is the normal(and cheap) way to earn the initial rating-play in a couple or three of these small 90/G tournaments. Then it’s play, play and play some more to climb up the food chain.

Organizer
Horvath, Csaba will also be supplying photos of the action.

Horvath, Csaba


This is one of the hidden little treasures of Budapest. There is one foreign player already-SCHWEIGHOFFER(SUI)-and me makes two so now it’s a little international Open.

Note the cheap entry fees!

Czech Open A 2013 Rd1-GM Boros,D

Aug 6

Posted by

TWIC 977-Pardubice 2013
GMs Boros(HUN) and Gonda(HUN) finished with 6/9.

Life was not so easy for GM Boros in the first round as he battled hard against the Sicilian Dragon. The old 11.Bh6 was nothing special but it did induce black to weaken his pawns. However, white could not break through on the kingside and the game turned to black’s favor.
