Here are the games. I tried using CB13 analysis functions to automate the analysis and find novelties.

After 37.Bf1(diagram)
After 37.Bf1
Black had the win the 37..Rxf6 but played 37..Qxf6? Presumably the action took place in a time scramble.

EU TCh Press Conference Nov 10-2015
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.

The away game required a car pool trip to a small town 130km away.
I rode with in the first class car of Mrs Czumbel-Thank you!
Team IM Szabolcsi,J did the thankless task of organizing the team and snacks and made the extra effort of collecting and returning phones-Big thank you!

I gave a short pep talk before the match which got a small chuckle.
I contributed a draw after failing to capitalize on an accidental pawn sacrifice in the opening.
