Bela Toth is actually Italian (and I guess hungarian or czech by family tree). He was IM when it meant something, and an IM of the 70's is probably stronger than many GM's of today in terms of absolute understanding of chess. >For me it is a very surprising result. > >I know that very good results are possible because a lot of players do not use >computers for many hours per move and I did +7 =3 against weak opposition in the >preliminary olympiad board 6 but I thought that similiar result is impossible >against first board of the final(not the preliminary olympiad). Hard to say without looking at the games, but at CC draws are also less common than OTB, especially if you know an endgame is won, with or without the computer aid. And that masters know when an endgame is won, and when it isin't.
