  1. "One of #Hungary’s most prominent #Jewish citizens may soon become the country’s #President, with the nation’s new #PrimeMinister nominating her to fill the role due to her “exceptional talent…and integrity”.

    #JuditPolgár, the #Hungarian Jewish #grandmaster who is widely considered to be the best female #chess player ever, has been named by Prime Minister #PéterMagyar as his nominee for role of ceremonial Head of State.

    In a social media post announcing his decision, #Magyar, who successfully ousted longtime Prime Minister #ViktorOrbán in April’s general election, wrote that “our country needs unity, peace, and a president in whom every Hungarian can take pride. The #presidency is not a profession, not a job, but the highest form of service. The president’s task is to serve and represent every Hungarian."

  3. TIL about Jan 'The Best of the West' Timman. A Dutch Grand Master who was around his peak, just years before I was born.
    A Dutch #2 of the world during a Soviet dominated chess period.
    He died earlier this year, aged 74.

    I don't recall that game. If not the players - surely she is a grandmaster - then at least give the opening. Please.
