Tough fights but no GM norms at First Saturday Budapest November events
Despite extremely intense fight from the beginning to the end, not any of the young talents could reach the 7 points GM norm. Bagi Mate (HUN) was the closest to it but he could not win any of his last two games because he avoided taking higher risk in a time-troubled situation. It was his first GM event since acquiring the IM title.
IM BAGI, Máté (HUN)
Stella Andrea (ITA) and Sturt Raven M (USA) also played high level chess in many games but all the three of them need a little more experience for the GM title dreamed.
However, Petrov Martin (BUL) a 15 year old player of Stolichen Centar Chess Club of Sofia (BUL) achieved his goal of performing his first IM norm. His father as a coach can be proud of him not only by his results but about his modest, silent humbleness to the game he loves.
PETROV, Martin (BUL)
WGM Kalinina Olga (UKR) arrived for having a strong training for the National Women Ch. of Ukraine. After losing the first two games she adapted to the high quality field and started to play and win in spectacular style. Her game against Sturt Raven M would deserve brilliancy prize.

Finally, two IM- s came on top in the IM section but the formula of such success of title- holders was not at all automatic. Gantsooj Ganzorig (MGL) though being less experienced had caused a lot of hard moments for all opponents having shown an enigmatic style. His opponents could hardly ever find out his next move. Lokander Martin (SWE) started his strong finish just a little late to be the winner.
Havanecz Bianka (HUN) silver medalist of the HUN National Women Ch. just two month earlier could not find the winning plan in a complicated middle game in the last round just at the gate of winning the tournament performing WGM norm.

TO Nhat Minh (IM, HUN)
Coach Batsaikhan Tserendorj who is a National Master in Mongolia can see his decision justified to come to Budapest accompanying 3 of his most talented pupils. 11 years old Itgelt Khuyagtsogt won 126 rating points against a field that had the advantage of at least 30 years more experience in average.

The Chief Guest of the tournament was a living chess legend GM Pal Benko (USA) who is now 87 years old. He was born in Hungay but immigrated to USA in 1956. He is the only player who had defeated former World Champion Robert James Fisher three times. Later they worked together for many years. Benko Gambit (1.d4 Hf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 b5) was named after him since he frequently used this system successfully. Living in Budapest again, he is still active by writing valuable endgame articles for the Chess Life Magazine (USA) under the columns of Endgame Laboratory. He is the greatest ever chess composition and problems expert. Published a lot of books, mainly on endgames but his most important work- piece is “My Life, Games and Compositions” published in 2003 in Los Angeles by Siles Press.
