After White's last 31.Rh4-h3??
it is Black to move

The game was played in the national team championship, on Dec-21, 2008.
I was the second player and missed the move that would have made White resign on the spot, due to excessive lack of sleep.
(Just a remark: I wouldn't like to boast myself here, but even if White had not blundered, Black had a superior position by move 30, almost winning.)

It's incredible, but true: today in a 25-board simultaneous display I managed to win against GM Zoltán Almási, a 2674 player, who is currently 47th-ranked in the world and 3rd in Hungary.
O.K., he was far from his best in this simultan game, but he is a top GM nevertheless.
Who does not know him...?

Apart from two games from 12 years ago, today was the 1st time that I had played an OTB game against a grandmaster, and now I am very very very very very HAPPPY. (I was so happy this evening that I could have screamed.)

You can take a look at the scan of the scoresheet. (With the GM's signature on it.)

I heard that I was the only one who managed to win, even though at least three players were 2100+ and I could name a "2200+"-player, too. (the GM's statisctics after all games: +20 =4 -1)

National Team Champ/Div. 3/Group Barcza (Hazír vs. Bakk)

Today I won again. It was my 9th (nineth) game in a row with Black... (Surprising as it may sound, since 2004 I have been playing in team tournaments only, and since 2000 I have not played a single game for Elo-rating in any individual tournament.)




So, I have won all three of Black games in this season. I must admit that my opponents did not show much resistance, yet I am glad.

Hajdú-Bihar County Team Ch. (Kovács, Lajos vs. Bakk)

Today I won again in the county club championship.
It was a blunder at the end that resulted in a 4-move checkmate (remember, my MGPG were on!), nevertheless I was satisfied, because I had been sick for days and did not sleep a single minute the night before the game.
