Simuls

There is an article on Chessbase detailing the launch of a major innovation: the ChessBase Simul Hunt. The aim is to save from oblivion as many games as possible played by readers in simultaneous displays. You can click on this link and go right to it: Edward Winter's Chess Explorations (5) - We look forward to your contribution.
Kelly Hollins mentioned he played GM David Bronstein in a simul at the HOP over a decade ago and I mentioned the new CHESSBASE project and asked him to bring me the game. He said it was "not good enough." I said that if everyone felt that way, no one would send in any games!
The next day he surprised me by giving me a copy of the game!
I've only played in three simuls; the first one versus Jude Acers, the second vs GM Bent Larsen, and the third vs GM Larry Christiansen. I lost all of them...I did, though, exact a measure of revenge by winning a game from Jude in the French Quarter many years later. I also beat GM Larry Christiansen...at BACKGAMMON! After his simul, we played at the house of Michael Decker for many hours at only a quarter a point. Although I won the session, I watched as Larry C improved from game to game! He kept looking at me with a look that said, "I'm a GM and he's not, so I oughta be winning at this game, too!"
