On Tuesday the 27th of September we held a simultaneous round at the club.  We had 15 members who were brave enough to come up  against Hugo Fowler, a 2000 rated player who kindly volunteered his time to do this for us.

It also gave our Junior players some experience of playing against a very high graded player; teaching them patience as it took 15 minutes for Hugo’s rotation to complete.

Ultimately Hugo was able to keep his street cred in order and ended up winning 10 games and 5 draws.  Unfortunately for the club we had no victors but it was enjoyable to see the whole club participate.

This is the first time the club has held a simultaneous event and although we were short on time I think it was very successful and we hope to invite another high rated player to do it again in the future.  Other activities to look forward to are a rapid tournaments and dobble chess.  See you at the next event!
