Jan-03-03    Honza Cervenka: Chessgames.com, the name of this player is not Laszlo Barcza, but Laszlo Barczay. Jan-03-03    PVS: So they tricked me! Jan-03-03    GregorMendel: I'd always saw it as "Barcza" - where'd you hear that, Honza? Jan-03-03    AgentRgent: There was a player named Barcza but his name was Gedeon. This is Laszlo Barczay (http://www.fide.com/ratings/card.ph...). Jan-03-03    GregorMendel: You're right, I was thinking of Gedeon Barcza. Thanks, Agent. Feb-21-11    BIDMONFA: Laszlo Barczay BARCZAY, Laszlo http://www.bidmonfa.com/barczay_las... _ Feb-21-11    HeMateMe: Chess Rule No. 1: You have to have a crazy, unspellable name, if you want to have an opening variation named after you. Feb-21-11    haydn20: I imagine his name is perfectly straightforward for a Hungarian. Honfi-Barczay 1977 has a pretty combo at the end. Feb-21-11    Maatalkko: Great picture. He looks ticked.
