GM Joel Benjamin undefeated in 18 game simultaneous exhibition.

On Sunday, January 20th, 3 time U.S. Chess champion and 2 time U.S. junior chess champion Joel Benjamin did an 18 board simultaneous exhibition at Frank's chess academy in Leonia, New Jersey. The event was attended mostly by young children, but there were several adults participating as well. Joel's brilliancy prevailed as usual. He won every game, 18-0. I was able to obtain most of the games. Joel was able to defeat me with a very clever way to trap my knight in the middlegame.

It should be noted that Joel varied his openings- some games he played c4, or d4, others e4, others Nf3. Here are the rest of the games- although I am missing a bunch. Please note that not all of these games are complete, as the scoresheets became too sloppy to read towards the end.

Thanks to Joel and Frank for such a great event!
