Jozsef Szen's Chess Games
Jozsef Szen worked as an archivist for the city of Pesth. He gained a certain amount of recognition, when he, along with Johann Löwenthal, headed a Hungarian chess team (which included, among others, J. Oppenheim the Zenner brothers, Vincent Grimm - the chess club president) from Pesth in a chess correspondence match with Paris between 1842 and 1846 and scored a shocking 2-0 victory, while introducing the Hungarian Defense:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Be7

On the basis of the chess correspondence match, mentioned in the description, and probably on reccomendation from Löwenthal, Szen was invited to play in the 1851 London tournament.
