Budapest Team Championship Division 3 Rd1 MLTC IV 2.5 – RAC II 9,5 I was a bit nervous for the first game of the season as last season I contributed one win in 10 games. This time around I played for RAC team 2 in a last minute switch when I was originally due to play board 4 on team 1. It was about 30 minutes into the game when I checked my opponents rating and realized I was in a must win situation. Also, out team only fielded 10 of the required 12 players and so was spotting our opposition 2 games right off the bat.

Budapest Team Championship IV Rd1 Hort SE 4.5–RAC 1.5 RAC only had 5 of the 6 required players. Nádasi,Balázs (2161) − Téglás,Márton (2141) [B96] BTCH Division 4 Budapest (1.1), 08.10.2012[Yip] This unrated game will otherwise go unpublished and unnoticed but shows the value of practice games. Both players follow theory until black extends theory on move 19. The novelty does not improve black's chances as white does not fully exploit the chances given.

Budapest Tournaments 2010-10 Josef Varosi Open 2012-10 Mester,A won with a perfect 6-0 score. I took =2nd with Mezei, Dombai and Nogrady. In the last round, Juhasz was in control against Mester but blundered a piece. The weather was beautiful for three days so all in all this was another Budapest bargain weekend of chess. The entry fee(net of 10% discount from the Budapest Discount Card-from the Hungarian Chess Federation) was 9.6EUR/12.6/USD/12.5CAD. The discount card costs 1000HUF(3.6EUR/4.7USD/4.6CAD). The only catch is waiting for the card. Participating tournament organizers download a cardholder list before every tournament to give eligible players their discounts. The sad part of this and similar tournaments is that the games will go unpublished and unrecorded by databases and just vanish.
