| Aug-07-08 | | newzild: 2645 is a pretty respectable rating. He's certainly strong enough to be a Player of the Day. |

 | | kasp: Berkes now has a live rating of 2707.6 +14.6, I've never heard his name but he's already at 2700+ elo, not bad.. something more about him??? |
|
| Jul-01-11 | | Billy Vaughan: Another Hungarian 2700! |
|
| Aug-31-11 | | Billy Vaughan: This guy's close to being the top Hungarian player now...another two or three wins in the World Cup would do it. |

 | | Penguincw: Happy 29th birthday to GM (and former 2700 club member) Ferenc Berkes. Too bad he's not representing Hungary at the Olympiad (maybe didn't qualify?), but I'm sure his team will be fine with Leko, Balogh, Almasi and Polgar (Rapport day off) against Vietnam. :) |

 | | technical draw: One of the highest rated 'unknown" players. |
|
| Aug-08-18 | | diagonal: Berkes won the Hungarian Championship seven times, in 2004, 2007, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and also 2016 (Zalakaros Chess Festival, Ivan Ivanisevic won, Berkes shared second and best national player). Record nine-times Hungarian Champions are:
<László Szabó> (1935, 1937, 1939, 1946, December 1950, 1952, 1954, 1959 and 1967-1968), and <Lajos Portisch> (February 1958, December 1958, 1961, 1962, 1964, December 1965, 1971, 1975 and 1981). <Gedeon Barcza> and <Zoltan Almasi> (so far) have eight titles. <Ferenc Berkes> has seven titles now, the cg. bio box is not yet up-dated. <Bilek>, <Ribli>, and <Adorjan> follow with three national titles. <Lajos Steiner>, <Csom>, <Sax>, and <Pinter>, amongst others, have won two Hungarian Championships. <Judit Polgar> won the male title in 1991 (in a closed field of ten players including Portisch, Sax, Adorjan, or Farago, as well as her sister Zsuzsa Polgar) |
|
| Aug-08-18 | | diagonal: It's insane, we should not do it in general..
A <top ten list> of the most prominent chess players from Hungary living in the 20th / 21st century (Charousek died young in 1900) possibly maybe consists of <Maroczy>, <Asztalos>, <Breyer>, <Lilienthal> (1911-2010, emigrated then to the USSR in 1935), <Szabo>, <Portisch>, <Zsuzsa Polgar>, <Judit Polgar>, <Leko>, and <Rapport> (named in chronological order of birth). And what about the brothers <Endre & Lajos Steiner>, or <Ribli.Sax.Adorjan>, of course, there are many more greats! |
|
| Aug-08-18 | | Olavi: <diagonal>
According to himself in My Best Games of Chess, Szabó was an eight-time champion. In 1939 no championship seems to have been played and the Makowetz Memorial that he won is often included in the total. |
|
| Aug-08-18 | | diagonal: <Olavi> Thanks for your attention! According to Magyar Sakkbajnokságthe (corresponding Hungarian entry of Wikipedia), a Championship has been played in 1939, too: 1. Laszlo Szabo, 2. Gedeon Barcza, 3. Pal Réthy
https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magya... (my initial source) Thus nine national titles. Chessgames also has nine titles for Szabo. But indeed, older sources as the Batsford Chess Encyclopedia or Ken Whyld in the Guiness Book Chess - The Records, say eight titles (no Championship 1939). 1939, the year when WWII broke out, seems to be the crucial one concerning Szabo's record. Is the Memorial tournament you mentioned, retrospectively counted as National Championship? |
|
| Aug-08-18 | | Olavi: Olavi: <diagonal> Yes, the Makovetz Mem is listed under Hungarian Individual tournaments, not Hungarian Championships (Szabo 11/11 Barcza 7½ Réthy 7 Szily 6½ etc), but it's likely they have decided to count it as one. In any case Szabo didn't think so, because upon winning the 1967 championship he writes that it was his tenth win alone or in a deadheat (he had lost two tie break matches). |
|
| Aug-09-18 | | diagonal: <Olavi> Thank you for your precise background information. The Hungarian Wikipedia entry is likely to be based on a recent listing, which retrospectively counts Szabo's 1939 tournament win also as a national title. Sometimes, a Memorial brand can also be (seen as) a sub-claim of an event. |

 | | Breunor: I think Portisch has to be on the list of greatest Hungarian players. |
|
| Dec-02-18 | | Count Wedgemore: <Breunor> Well, Portisch was on the list that <diagonal> named. And there seems to be a continuing stream of new talented players emerging as well, like Benjamin Gledura. Hungarian chess continues to be in great shape. |
