The Hungarian Grandmaster Gabor Papp and the German national player Sarah Hoolt said "I do" last week. At the wedding ceremony in Bad Bentheim chess players were naturally, among the guests.
Gabor Papp was born in 1987 in Pecs, an ancient city in southern Hungary near the Croatian border. He earned the International Master title in 2004 and, in 2011, received the Grandmaster title. Papp plays in various European leagues, and is currently number ten player from Hungary.
Sarah Hoolt was born in Nordhorn in 1988 and grew up in Bad Bentheim. In 2006, Hoolt was German U18 champion. Between 2004 and 2006, she participated in Youth World Championships three times, in 2007 and 2008 at the Girls' World Championships U20. In 2011, Hoolt won the German Women's Championship in Bonn. She became a WGM in 2012. Between 2008 and 2014 she represented the German Chess Federation in three chess Olympiads. In the Bundesliga and women's Bundesliga, she plays for the Hamburger SK team. She is the sixth highest rated player in Germany.
Sarah Hoolt — now Sarah Papp — studied economics in Essen and graduated in 2013 with a Master of Science.
