Nov-29-05 | | AdrianP: Excellent result for this young Hungarian GM, taking Karjakin out in the tie-breaks. Here's his FIDE rating card. I had never heard of him prior to this tournament. http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph...

 | | perfidious: <johnnyb3: Is he any relation to the Balogh associated with one of my favorite "junk" openings e4 d6 d4 f5?> That honour goes to Janos Balogh instead. |
|
Dec-10-13 | | johnnyb3: Oh, I knew it wasn't the same guy, I just wondered if it was a grandson or something. |

 | | perfidious: No idea, but the surname is not uncommon-used to know Alex Balogh when I haunted Montreal blitz events in the 1990s. |

 | | Annie K.: <the surname is not uncommon> Correct. :) It's an archaic Hungarian word for 'left-handed'. It doesn't carry the negative connotations of the English 'sinister' though. |
|

 | | perfidious: <Annie K.>: Some twenty years ago, I was working for IBM in Vermont and had a co-worker who equated left-handedness with being sinister. Not that she was the brightest person in creation, but this was mind-blowing to me. |

 | | Annie K.: <perfidious> this sort of unthinking acceptance of linguistic associations is the mark of monolingualism. :\ |

 | | Natalia Pogonina: Grats to Csaba on his great performance at the Chess Olympiad! :) |
|
Aug-14-14 | | Method B: It was a controversial decision to select him playing board 2 in front of Richard Rapport Zoltan Almasi and even Judit Polgar but it certainly paid great dividends. Great performance! Bravo Csaba. |
|
Aug-14-14 | | cro777: The happy Hungarian team with the silver medals.
