Biography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibor_... (in English) http://www.ajedrezhoy.com/Curriculu... (self bio till 2003) He has three sons but I believe "Tibor Karolyi" is him also, as well as "Tibor Karolyi Sr.".

Apr-10-11		wordfunph: lifted from the book Genius in the Background by Tibor Karolyi and Nick Aplin.. http://www.amazon.com/Genius-Backgr... Preface by Tibor Karolyi: Attila Jozsef, who died in 1937, was one of Hungary's greatest ever poets, but while he was alive he received very little appreciation for his art. Andor Nemeth was one of his few close friends; he understood the high level of his art, but never expressed this to the poet. Years later, when Jozsef's poems had become part of Hungarian culture and were taught in every Hungarian school, and many streets had been named after him, Nemeth was asked why he had not expressed his appreciation (Jozsef was longing for it). He answered, "I am sorry, but when I beat somebody three times out of five in chess, I can't consider him a genius." :-)
