Who did I mock that did not deserve it? Tell me who and why and if I
can't give you a good reason, I will apologize. In fact, I will apologize
anyway. I apologize to all those chess players who believe I have
mocked them. I make many blunders myself, especially the faster
I play, without thinking. 😏
you didn't need to do it.

Well, I don't really know how often one gets an opportunity to play in a simultaneous exhibition versus any grand master but I reserved my seat anyway.
Alexei Shirov will be in Toronto Canada on the 27 February this year where we will first listen to one of his chess lectures and then play the simul games.
I'm totally looking forward to it.

Originally posted by greenpawn34A pint? Are you related to Blackburne? I never heard of these rules before. All I knew of a simulataneous chess exhibition is that it cost $100 to play Spassky some time ago. I think it was about 1979 but I do not remember. For $100 I would not want to have to play as though I was double parked.
The player giving the simul should be able to recognise each postion
10 moves in and recall what he was up too. (I think that is what you are asking.)
In my case it was easy. I was attacking on all boards, gambits being the order of the day.
(I always took White, I always played 1.e4, I always sacced something in the first
6 or 7 moves.). Get the ...[text shortened]... t and jeans cut off at the knee."
Then he knew I was playing a gag. But it got me a pint.

Every one I seen there has always something said about passing.
When Karpov gave his simul in Glasgow in 1984 he looked down the
list of players of players against him and said one had to removed. (Roddy McKay).
What a honour, it's almost better than saying you beat him.
Do you a have a picture of the event, the game score?

Originally posted by greenpawn34I don't remember exactly where, but I read a very nice thing about Karpov in a simul. I think it was in New York, and the simul came down to one last player, a male in his early teens who had promise.

Karpov stopped, fetched a clock from someone, and put himself (but not the boy) on the clock with 5 minutes, in the spirit of fair play.
