The 21th of February at Sofia in the NDK Palace at Sofia (same playing location for the Topalov Kamsky match),bulgarian GM Kiril Georgiev set the new World Record for simul playing.Although the record is yet to be confirmed by the Guiness entity.Georgiev played 360 opponents.So i wish to adress my congratulations!

Bravo!
