Chess Europe Johan (namely, under that name first appeared Andras) became known in 1969, finishing second World Junior Championships after Karpov. It seemed a time of great success is not far off. However, the first major achievement Adoryanu had to wait long for ten years. He worked hard over a game of chess, and the results were not all. Andras even began to think hard to quit chess. After all, many of his generation have a much larger.

Few counted Adoryana to favorite interzonal tournament in Riga in 1979, and the movement distance of the tournament did not give reasons for Andras over-optimism. However, at the finish of the Hungarian grandmaster scored three consecutive wins and managed to grab third place for the division. "According to inertia" Adoryan passes his compatriot Ribli and becomes contender. It was his finest hour. In the quarterfinal Andras inferior Huebner. In the eighties he was one of the most interesting and colorful chess.

The younger generation of Hungarian grandmasters have played a few other chess, but the influence and the hand Adoryana quite noticeable. Just look how Peter Leko treats some options for protecting Grц?nfeld.
