I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but last Friday I decided to give the Budapester a try in a blitz game! I found myself in a terrible position, but lucky me, I could escape once again!

In my situation, in my opinion, aying 600 euro’s is not so strange. You must imagine I was invited to play in a cat. 13 tournament. The organizer had arranged special discount tarifs in the hotel, so that means in case I had booked a normal holiday in that hotel all myself, it would have been much more expensive.
Secondly, these days there are more tournaments like this where you have to take care about all your own expenses. For example in Aeroflot tournament in Moscow, usually all players in the A1 (2550+) section, don’t get any conditions, nothing to say about players in A2 (2400-2550). So in my opinion it’s not that strange to do it once, giving myself the oppurtunity to play against such strong field.

There are so many chess professional gipsies that so often humiliate themself without any self respect,and doing almost nothing for a better future…as to warn others about such great organisers…Nothing to do in April-so let’s make a diet and run after a cheater organisers to pay us! A great sport! And if he can’t pay us the conditions-what’s the problem? We can maybe have a free night sleep in a friendly house and save few euros so we can comeback next year! Bravoo Postny,a real inspiration for any chess lover!
Bobby and Kasparov had to open there chess School to teach GM’s how to get more respect and better payment for there job ,but considering this two complex selfish personalities…This is the mirror of the chess world!
Any other respective sport or job without contracts or at least advance payment for expences??!

Wake up sleepy lazy GM’s and fight for rights before is too late….or maybe it is already?!

“He should at least be put in jail, but that‚Äôs not an appropriate punishment for him to have a place to sleep, to have food for every day all from the expenses of the people from Hungary”

Things one can say! This type of comments makes me largely prefer Ruben’s “Lynch him!”, which, if it isn’t, at least may look like pure, funny, fully assumed nonsense!

You love drama, right? But you even sound like wishing it to happen. Have you thought about how small this is, compared with the big disgraces of the humanity, with all the touching, brilliant stories they inspired? And look: There are always survivals! Let’s have more disgraces, in the name of drama and of the rest of the arts!
