Hungarian National Championship (HNC)

The HNC traditionally consists of several tournaments unlike many other countries national championships. The basic idea is, that we play several tournaments and create a ranking, which takes in account only game wins and victory points. The final tournament is played by the top 40 players. The winner of this tournament is the National Champion. We also reward the first ranked player of the preliminary tournaments.

In 2006 5+1 tournaments formed the HNC, in 2007 and 2008 it was 7+1 and in 2009 it was 10+1. We don't know how many tournaments will form the HNC this year, yet.

In 2008 91 and in 2009 101 players attended at least one of the HNC tournaments, we hope for an even higher attendance this year!

This year the first HNC tournament was held in Szeged (20.02.2010) with a disappointing attendance of 14 players. Folks! We can do better!!! The next HNC will be in Kismaros (20.03.2010) with hopefully ~30 players like in the good ol' days.
