I still need the games from day one of this group 6 qualifier. My thanks to
Sead Bicevic for days 2 and 3.

The Group 6 qualifier took place in Budapest. The great moment of
controversy was the participation of Vassily Ivanchuk for the Ukrainian
team Danko Donbass. GM Suat Atalik is extremely angry about this, see his
open letter later in the issue.
