Hungaroil-Honvéd Sakk világbajnok-jelölti előkészületi mérkőzés (Budapest, 1990)

Thoughts of the geeral sponsor

HUNGAROIL-HONVED 1990 THOUGHTS OF THE GENERAL SPONSOR Five years... how simple to write and announce. It is a half decade in a man’s life, but it seems to have other dimensions in the case of a castle. The Kastély Hotel Szirák was opened with the I. Hungaroil Honvéd chess grandmaster tournament. Since that time the name of Szirák and the Hungarian Hydrocarbon Institute is interconnected with the chess. The successful introduction was followed in 1986 the second grandmaster tournament, which had the strongest field in the history of the Hungarian tournament chess. One year later the interzonal tournament was held in Szirák! The name of Szirák entered into the history of the Hungarian and International Chess life. Now, at the fifth birtday of Hotel Kastély, the saloon of the castle will be again the scene of a dignified chess tournament. Two world-known chess players will compete in the frames of a four game match. The match participants are grandmasters Sax and Andersson. They "come home" among the ancient walls, because Gyula Sax won on the first tournament the third prize and the Swedish grandmaster will be our guest after 1987, second times. I hope, that the calm environment, the facilities promoting both physical and mental relaxation will contribute to the engrossed professional work of the contributors. I hope, that the four games match will be a useful help in the preparation for the world champion candidate tournament for Gyula Sax, our international chess grandmaster and Ulf Andersson also assumes it a good preparatory stage for the successful participation in the chess Olympiade. The general sponsor of the game wishes a good play and games rich in content. Dr. Sándor Doleschall general manager of SZKFI
