Our last team meeting consisted of a blitz tournament and awards ceremony with refreshments. Our top team finished 6th in Division I while our second team earned a promotion from Division III to Division II. 

In the Monday evening league play, RAC was equal first after tying the final match 3-3.

I managed to take third in the blitz with a bit of luck. My haul for the season was two medals and a gift certificate for 3,000HUF for being the top scorer on the team with 8/11.

As usual, the season had ups and downs but the year turned out well as I continue to enjoy the world on Hungarian chess.

Board 5
Bolyai,I is on the RAC team for the Monday League but plays for another team in Division 1 play. He comes through regularly with win after win.


‘Actually, he(Bolyai), altogether with András Szili and with me(Nadasi), are from the same club, from the Sárkány Diáksport Egyesület. Bólyai plays for Sárkány III in the 2nd Div, but András Szili and me are playing in the 1st Div.’
