15 years old Korpa Bence (HUN) hit GM level at First Saturday Budapest
Despite his young age Korpa Bence (15, HUN) is quite an experienced player.
FM KORPA, Bence /HUN/
He is nine times National Champion in several age groups and with teams. He won bronze medal in U14 EU Championship (Mureck, AUT) in 2011 and came at 2-5th tied at Prague 2014. He is a student of Zrinyi Ilona Grammar School in Miskolc (HUN) visiting lessons regularly. He showed up amazingly resourceful skills always finding defence in the most difficult positions so he well deserved his first GM norm. His coach is GM Hera Imre (HUN) and after working together with half a year the young talent has closed up to GM level.
FM Sean Winshand Cuhendi (INA) has finished his half a year chess studies in Hungary with another success.
FM SEAN Winshand Cuhendi (INA)
During his stay he collected 5 tournament victories winning 180 standard FIDE Rating points. He always plays for victory knowing no compromise. He has been working with several coaches and plans to return to Budapest again when his school duties are fulfilled. He has achieved his second IM norm now and became Nr.1 junior player of Indonesia.

The only woman participant of the FM-A section Gal Hanna Krisztina (15, HUN) topped all the boys and all the experienced male opponents. She won the U14 Rapid European Championship this year in Budva (MNE) and the U14 National Championship too in standard chess. She lives in Debrecen (HUN) where she regularly attends Huszar Gal Grammar school as a student.
GÁL, Hanna Krisztina (HUN)
The headmaster of her school is FM Donka Peter (HUN) who has been coaching her for several years now. Hanna has also been working with IM Mester Gyula (HUN) and with FIDE Senior Trainer IM Hazai Laszlo (HUN) recently. The youngest participant Füredi Erik (11, HUN) played surprisingly well for his age and collected +32 FIDE-Rating points. Bohus Adam (12, HUN) was the only one who could defeat the winner and he collected +20 points.
