Preview: It is with great pleasure that Chess Scotland invites to a four-day seminar with Grandmaster Csaba Horvath from Budapest , Hungary.

Csaba is the younger and stronger of two grandmaster brothers who for decades has been a force to be reckoned with in Hungarian Chess. Despite of the presence of many world famous players in his country, he has several times represented his country. He has won tournaments all over the world and been teaching chess in his brothers chess academy in Budapest . He has a great sense of humour and an even greater understanding of chess.

Csaba will be lecturing on the topic From the Opening into the Middlegame , about how to continue playing once the preparation has ended, but also a bit about opening preparation itself.
