Challenge the Masters II Multi-Master Simul Tournament (A 2005 Elod Macskasy Memorial Fundraising Event) November 15, 2003 Vancouver Bridge Center Join fellow chess enthusiasts on Saturday, Nov 15, 2003, for a full day of entertainment by challenging assorted masters in a continuous simultaneous exhibition. Here’s your chance to play against GM Duncan Suttles, FM Oliver Schulte, FM Jack Yoos, FM Bruce Harper, Fanhao Meng, Luc Poitras and other masters and experts. Each master will play eight boards for 15 minutes, then rotate to the next eight boards, being replaced by another master, and so on. The number of masters playing at any particular time will depend on the number of participants in the exhibition. At different times, different masters will be playing. No consultation between the masters will be permitted – they will have to figure out what their predecessors were doing. Participants may begin a new game whenever they like and may play as many games as time permits. No new games may be started after 3:00 pm. Be there early or be there late – but be sure to be there! Pre-register to reserve a board, so you can sit with your friends.
