Mistrz międzynarodowy Krzysztof Pańczyk – znany zawodnik, trener i autor – zaliczył udany występ na turnieju w Budapeszcie.
THREE NORMS ON FIRST SATURDAY BUDAPEST
In July 2019, there were 4 separate groups on the monthly First Saturday Budapest chess tournament.
Two of the candidates has achieved an excellent performance by reaching the necessary 7 points for a GM norm. For 15 years old IM Bjerre Jonas Buhl (DEN) it was the second GM norm of his career, and probably he will achieve the third one as well soon.
IM Kantor Gergely (HUN) only needed his third and last norm, so he can start celebrating his GM title soon, and maybe he can reach the Hungarian national team as well.
The tournament’s regular GM participants, GM Aczel Gergely (HUN) and GM Ilincic Zlatko (SRB) showed a good example to the aspirants and finished with 6 and 5 points respectively. Young FM Assaubayeva Bibisara (KAZ) forgot her last month performance and made a solid 4 points in a relatively strong group.

In the International Master group FM Polschikov Alexey (RUS) not only reached the necessary 7 points for the norm, but even got above it by half point. He has a nice fighter spirit, only one of his games ended as a draw.
IM Vegh Endre (HUN) and IM Panczyk Krzysztof (POL) finished 2nd and 3rd place, making it hard for the aspirants to reach their goals. The group was very well balanced as 4 players finished with 5 points. The youngest participant in this group, FM Ongut Tamas Gunes (HUN) couldn’t get near an IM norm, but proved his fighting spirit by usually finishing his games last in the hall after more than 5 hours of playtime.

In the scheveningen system group, the usual scenario took place. The stronger row won more games, but the weaker players (at least 3 of the 5) achieved a massive rating boost. FM Farago Sandor (HUN) was the most successful in this section by gaining 8 points out of 10 games. The rating indifferences were clearly shown by his ‘massive’ 1 rating gain in the end.
In the weaker group Kepplinger Lukas (AUT) had the best performance with 6 points (and gained 51 rating), while two young players: Ananya Rishi Gupta (IND) and Bilku Andras (HUN) earned above 80 rating points in the tournament.

Turniej otwarty-A wygrał Thomas Michalczak, były mój podopieczny w punkcie szkoleniowym w Essen. Po jego sukcesie pogratulowałem mu I miejsca na facebooku. Reakcja była natychmiastowa:
Drugi w turnieju Daniel Hausrath też jakiś czas uczęszczał na moje zajęcia. Bardzo często na rozmaitych imprezach w Niemczech podchodzą do mnie osoby i przypominają nasze dawne spotkania w trakcie różnych szkoleń.
To jest bardzo miłe, że tutaj w Niemczech moi byli podopieczni pamiętają o mnie!
