Oct-20-04    fasting: Who is this Bela Toth?? is this person a woman or a man? Oct-20-04    fgh: No idea, but it sounds more like a woman name. Oct-20-04    chessgames.com: I couldn't find much online but I found this brief mention <1943.04.19 Toth b. Italian IM 1974.> http://www.logicalchess.com/info/hi... Due to the timespan, I would suspect that the first 2 or 3 games belong to a different Bela Thoth. Oct-20-04    Benzol: Maybe <ray keene> could shed more light on this player as he played against him/her in 1979. Oct-21-04    clapperrail: Bela Toth is a man. He played in the Haifa Olympiad in 1976. He won a game against L Kavalek who was playing for the USA team. Oct-21-04    Honza Cervenka: Early games in this file could be played by Bora Tot Oct-26-04    fasting: Guess you are right Honza - but this Bora Tot isn't bad at all, draws against Spassky, Korchnoi and Aljechin! Oct-26-04    ray keene: male-hungarian-played for italy i seem to recall-i think i played him twice haifa ol 1976 rome 1979-int master? about 60 now i guess Oct-26-04    ray keene: the man i played cannot have been active in 1938!! Oct-26-04    fasting: yes we are talking of two different Tots - but as Honza says, check out Bora Tot Oct-26-04    fasting: but nice to hear first-hand information on the subject - thnx Keene Oct-31-04    Honza Cervenka: <fasting> Bora Tot really was not bad but those draws against Korchnoi and Spassky are games of this player. Games in both files are a little bit mixed up. By the way, there is a picture of Bela Toth on http://www.chesslive.de/scripts/ser... Nov-08-04    fasting: wow what a... photo... guess its at least 25 years old And what a mess with Bela n' Bora. Must admit I'm still slightly confused about them both - All though nice done by Bela then! He also beats Timman in 84' !? Dec-11-05    Karpova: this guy looks like anthony kiedis Apr-19-06    BIDMONFA: Bela Toth TOTH, Bela http://www.bidmonfa.com/toth_bela.htm _ Dec-24-06    Karpova: Seems to play for Switzerland now. Earned the CC GM title in 2004 http://amici.iccf.com/issues/issue_... Dec-24-06    Prugno: Indeed: Bela Toth still keeps Italian citizenship, but he has been living and playing in Switzerland for something like 20 years now. May-10-07    Maatalkko: Looks a bit like Keith Emerson, with the hair and all.
