Hajdú-Bihar County Team Ch. (Bakk vs. Törös)

Today I played OTB (over the board) as White -- for the first time in a game for Elo-rating since 2004:

Can you see how I am trying to hide the secret chess thoughts from the opponent? :) (Yes, I am the one with hands folded over the forehead.)



I must admit that neither this opponent showed much resistance.
