High interest has been shown for the FIDE rating groups so an additional tournament called Development group had to be registered for the lowest rated players. The youngest participants of all are as young as nine 9 years old Bohus Adam and Csetneki Mark (both HUN) . They have long games in each rounds against some experienced players more than half a century older then them. The large Conference Hall of MEDOSZ Hotel which is located in the heart of Budapest offers pleasant playing conditions so increasing number of players are registered for the forthcoming month of First Saturday events too.
