re:Travel to Hungary in 1950? - 2006/10/05 12:33
a short google search (http://www.google.com) with the key words
"Samuel Reshevsky Budapest" (w/o quoting marks) gives the answere to your question:
http://www.chesscafe.com/text/skittles171.pdf.
To set the stage:Five players - Bronstein, Smyslov, Isaac Boleslavsky,
Paul Keres and Miguel Najdorf - qualified as Candidates on the basis of their result at Budapest 1950. Max Euwe and Samuel Reshevsky, who had qualified for Budapest 1950 but didn't play, were invited to the
1953 tournament by a decision of the 1950 FIDE Congress. (The Euwe invitation was controversial and only passed by a 13-7 vote.) Four more players - all Soviets - qualified because of their top-four finish at the Stockholm 1952 Interzonal.
As you can learn from these quote, there were a few american chess player 1950 in Budapest, and "and Samuel Reshevsky, who had qualified for Budapest 1950 but didn't play"..

Success is having a flair for the thing that you are doing.
