| Groningen (1994) |
|
"Zoltán Almási, who proved his skills from tournament to tournament in 1994, and could have spent the Christmas holidays with a well-deserved rest, sat down one day (!) after the Moscow Olympiad (1994) at the chess table in Groningen, the Netherlands, at the traditional FIDE category 15 tournament, where he achieved one of the most outstanding Hungarian successes of recent years. .. At the closing ceremony, the Englishman Hodgson praised Zoli's play and thanked for the excellent tournament organization. ... FIDE has already issued a certificate: our young hope is in 25th place in FIDEs April world ranking list with a so-called moving value of 2634.10!" (Sakkélet, transl.)
