Torokves Open
(Thanks to Attila Balla for lending me his camera.)
This time in Torokves, I played in the Open tournament instead of the more serious RR group as there I had committed to play in the Rakosmente Open also.

My play was not so great but the players were very cordial and the atmosphere casual and friendly.
