There are 63 players so far (with thirteen 2000+) for a strong field as a warmup for the Budapest Open later this month. 

There are five unrated players who will be collected enough games to earn their first FIDE ratings. This is the normal(and cheap) way to earn the initial rating-play in a couple or three of these small 90/G tournaments. Then it's play, play and play some more to climb up the food chain.

Organizer

Horvath, Csaba will also be supplying photos of the action.

Horvath, Csaba

This is one of the hidden little treasures of Budapest. There is one foreign player already-SCHWEIGHOFFER(SUI)-and me makes two so now it's a little international Open.
