The Hungarian National Teams held a press conference at the Hungarian Chess Federation before the teams departed.

Each team member spoke briefly and answered questions from the gallery.

There was a little girl in the ceremony who received a cake but I was not sure what for. GM Judit Polgar was also part of the team delegation.

The players seemed in good spirits and the mood was very positive.

A nice lunch was provided.
