Politiken Cup 2013
Portisch,L is playing.

 Interview
(We) met the Hungarian chess legend Lajos Portisch in the lobby and got a short interview.

Mr. Portisch told us, that this is his third appearance in Politiken Cup and he likes the tournament because of the nice surroundings, the Konventum hotel, the good food and the nice atmosphere. 

We asked why he so far has not attended any senior chess competitions, Portisch answered, that he has no ambition to become a senior world champion, when he never became world champion in his best period as a chess player. 


“In my age, you choose your tournaments very carefully. Of course if the organizers of the senior world championship gave me a nice offer, I would consider, but my main ambition these days is to sing.(more)..’

GM Hera(HUN) shared first with GMs Jones and Gormally with 7/9. GM Farago,I(HUN) finished with 6/9.

Report-Day 7
‘…Today is the longest day.  Surprising, given that we are going to be here until nearly 11pm tonight, Alex and I are in good spirits and there is some serious banter taking place.  To anyone listening, you would think we are abusing each other.  Not Alex and me :D(more)’

Chessbase Report-WIM Ioana Smaranda Padurariu
This is the seventh edition of LCT organized by Jan Bey. Over 20 titled players participated, from which nine were grandmasters. The tournament started on July 12 and ended on July 19. It was a nine-round Swiss and was held in the Mind Games Center of Leiden. 

People from twelve countries came to the lovely Dutch city. During weekdays the games started at 19.00h, so that people with a job would not have to take any free days. For players from abroad this offered ample opportunities to go sightseeing.
