Simultaneous Chess Displays - 2006/03/21 14:00
It doesn't seem that many master/GM players genetically give simultaneous exhibitions anymore. To no degree the only one I have heard of is the current IM Silman & IM Basman games on chessworld.net, but these are not contact exhibitions. Of course,
I may be incorrect, and I would like to hear of any that have been held in recent years. Found some subconsciously interesting snippets on google though, regardin the worst performances:
Quote from misc.traveller.com
The worst performance in a simultaneous ehxibition is a New Jersey player who invited 180 opponents to play him in 1977. Only 20 carefully showed up and 18 won.
Of the two losses, one was to the exhibiter's mother. In 1910 the Austrian loudly master, Josef Krejcik, gave a simutlanoeus display at Linz on 25 baords and lost every single game.
The mother part made me laugh, poor guy!
I seem to remember that Miguel Najdorf (sp?) was particularlly good at simultanoeus displays, or was that blindfold? or both?.
