Dudin and Lazarne Vajda are 2025 Hungarian chess champions

The 2025 Hungarian National Individual Chess Championships took place in Budapest from 10 to 18 December, featuring open and women’s events played as 10-player round-robins. Despite a few high-profile absences, both tournaments produced closely contested races. The open title went to 21-year-old Gleb Dudin, while the women’s championship was decided on tiebreaks, with Szidonia Lazarne Vajda claiming her fourth national crown. | Photos: Hungarian Chess Federation
