How to play 10 GMs in chess simultaneously

Friday, June 19, 2009

Here's a simple technique that guarantees at least a 5 point score (out of 10 possible) playing against 10 Grandmasters simultaneously in chess, should you ever strangely be given this opportunity!

Assuming you are black in 5 games and white in the other 5, simply pair up your opponents mentally, and then act as the conduit for their moves against each other.  In other words, take one of the games where you're white, and another where you're black, then play all of white's moves against the black player, and play all of black's moves against the white player.

Each such pairing is guaranteed to give you either one win plus one loss (for a total 1 point) or two draws (again, 1 point).

Thus, out of 10 simultaneous grandmaster games, you'll score an astounding 5 points!  Without this system, unless you are yourself in the top .01% of chess players worldwide, you will quite certainly score 0 points.

You're welcome!
