Simultaneous Display by GM Tamás Fodor

Thursday 30 April, 2015

Many thanks to GM Tamás Fodor for giving his first ever clock simul at Hendon Chess Club on April 30th, 2015!

GM Fodor kindly agreed that his opponents could all take whatever colour they preferred. 16 players took White, with just 2 playing as Black. Despite being under pressure in a number of games, GM Fodor eventually came out unbeaten with 17 wins and one draw, against Vikram Kamath.

Book prizes were awarded to Vikram, Andrei Teixera, & Noah Shapiro for a lively double-edged game.

Thanks also to Adam Raoof for organising the simul and taking photos.
