The Hungarian Chess Federation has always been making a point of popularizing this kind of sport and the well-known top Hungarian players have helped it much with their regular appearances in the media.

To back the U16 Chess Olympiad our Olympic players and our young talents offered their direct contribution to a short promo video clip. Besides Judit Polgar the best ever woman player of the world we can see Csaba Balogh who was the best scorer of our Silver medallist team earlier this year. 

Especially interesting is the appearance of two young talents beside them: Benjamin Gledura who was European Champion of his age group and Kata Karacsonyi who was the first to follow in the footsteps of Judit Polgar to win the National Championship topping all boys in their age groups.
