Gyula Sax was born in Budapest. He was one of Hungary's top players and one of the world's most consistent tournament players during the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. Sax was in the top 100 of the world from May 1974 to January 1993, and again in January 2000. He peaked in January 1989 when he was ranked equal #12 in the world, around the time he started contesting Candidates events, alongside Viktor Korchnoi, Mikhail Tal, Jan Timman, Lajos Portisch and other legends. During his heyday, Sax received many invitations to play in heavyweight high-category invitational tournaments and was one of the most consistent players on the circuit. Following his World Championship campaign, which lasted from 1975 until 1993 - with a very brief efflorescence in 2000 - he remained active and competitive throughout his life, although he gradually decreased his work load over the years. Later in his career, Sax shifted his emphasis to playing more in open tournaments, and less in invitationals, especially as his invitations to high category events waned, although he never stopped competing in invitationals. He started playing more in national leagues, mainly in eastern Europe, along with the Bundesliga. Sax played many seasons in the Hungarian League (his club was Z.Csuti-Hydrocomp SK in the 2013-14 season (his final game being in round 3)). He spent the last few years of his life playing in the Caissa GM invitationals in Kecskemét. The last tournament Sax won was in May 2013, when he placed first in the category 8 Caissa GM invitational.
Championships
<Junior> Sax won the 1970 Hungarian Junior Championship (2) and the inaugural European Junior Championship (EJC) in 1971-72 (3). The EJC was the result of FIDE renaming the Niemeyer Tournament that had been held since 1961-2. (4)
<National> He played in most of the Hungarian Championships staged between 1970 and 2009 inclusive, the highlights of these events being =4th with 9.5/15 in 1973, half a point behind the joint leaders Istvan Csom, Zoltan Ribli and Andras Adorjan, (5), wins in 1976 (sole winner) and 1977 (jointly with Zoltan Ribli), and =2nd in 1991 behind 15 year old Judit Polgar, a result which made Polgár the youngest Grandmaster of all time. (6) Sax was also runner up by half a point to Zoltan Almasi in the 1999 Championship, a category 13 event. (7)
<Continental> Sax competed in the inaugural European Championship (then known as the European Union Championship) in 2000 where he finished =23rd.(8) It was the only time he played in a Continental championship.
<World> (9) Sax first entered the World Championship cycle in 1975 when he competed at the Zonal tournament in Vraca (Враца) in Bulgaria. He achieved a good result in finishing equal third, half a point from the lead, but this was insufficient to qualify for the Interzonal. Sax tried again in January 1979, when he qualified from a preliminary Zonal tournament in Warsaw, to make the Zone 3 final, in which he finished in the top two to qualify for the Interzonal in Rio de Janeiro, played later that year. At his inaugural Interzonal, Sax scored 9/17 to finish tied for seventh, 2.5 points outside the top three qualifiers for the Candidates. In January 1982, he again qualified for the Interzonal, this one in Moscow, via Zonal 3 (for Eastern Europe). However, Sax fared no better at this event, scoring 6/13 to place eighth, well out of the top two qualification slots. He did have the satisfaction of beating one of the qualifiers, Alexander Beliavsky (the winner having been Garry Kasparov), in their individual game.
Sax continued his campaign in 1985 at the Biel Interzonal, again failing to qualify, but in 1989 he won the Interzonal in Subotica (Serbian: Суботица), qualifying for the Candidates alongside English GMs Nigel Short and Jonathan Speelman. He contested the Candidates held in 1988, but was eliminated by Short in the preliminary match after losing the first two games, the final score being 1.5-3.5 (+0 =3 -2). Again qualifying via Zonal 3, Sax qualified for another round of Candidates matches at the Manila Interzonal held in June-July 1990, placing fifth with a score of 8/13, including wins against the eventual winner of the Interzonal Boris Gelfand and the up and coming Gata Kamsky. He met Korchnoi at the Candidates matches in Wijk aan Zee in January-February 1991 and lost a hard fought match in the tiebreaks 1.5-0.5, after drawing the main portion of the best-of-eight match 4-4 (+1 -1 =6). After he failed to qualify at a 1993 Zonal, Sax did not participate again in the World Championship cycle, apart from a last hurrah at the Budapest Zonal in 2000, when he had regained his top 100 ranking and from which he withdrew after one round for family reasons. (10) After that, he focused his energy on tournaments and national and club leagues for the rest of his life. (11)
Standard Tournaments
Sax's tournament record was very impressive, winning many and rarely being far from the leader board. Gaining his GM title at an early age (for the time) and showing good results in events like the European Junior Championship in 1970 and the Hungarian Championships in the 1970s lead to invitations to some heavyweight tournaments such as:
• the Budapest Tungsram in 1973 (12) and 1975, ,(13) which included luminaries such as Efim Geller, Anatoly Karpov, Vlastimil Hort, Rafael Vaganian, Laszlo Szabo, and Vladimir Antoshin amongst others in 1973, and Portisch, Lev Polugaevsky, Zoltan Ribli and Jan Smejkal in 1975 when he placed a respectable 6th out of 16;
• the B-Group at Wijk aan Zee in 1973 where he placed 4th, (14);
• the category 12 double round robin 2nd AVRO (1973) in Hilversum in 1973 (which included heavyweight contenders Geller, Szabo, Polugaevsky, Timman, Ljubomir Ljubojevic, Ulf Andersson, and Borislav Ivkov (15) and
• the category 12 round robin event at Teeside in 1975 in which he placed 6th in a field that included Geller, Hort, Vasily Smyslov, David Bronstein, and Robert Huebner. (16)

Eulogies and Testimonials
"Gyula Sax was one of the greatest chess players of Hungary. He was the first GM who treated me as a fellow chess player when I was only 9 years old. He was ready to analyze positions with me, and shared ideas and by doing so he gave me a lot of self-confidence." - Judit Polgar (111)
"He always had very interesting games. That's another reason he was so well liked. It's a big loss for Hungarian chess. He's had many great successes in chess, but it's nothing compared to how he was as a person." – Susan Polgar (112)
