Make it a 12 board simul:

"Carlsen against the cream of the cream"

1) Spassky

2) Kasparov

3) Karpov

4) Khalifman

5) Anand

6) Ponomariov

7) Kasimdzhanov

8) Topalov

9) Kramnik

10) Alexandra Kosteniuk

11) Anna Ushenina

12) You Hifan

But I would let Kramnik and Topalov change chairs if they want, maybe they wouldn´t want to sit together for too long.

Cemeneting is an interesting neologism, like casting a net made out of cement. If the net is wide enough, who will avoid it, and if it's made out of cement, who will escape it?

Nice word.

I know it's probably unintentional, but I do think it's an interesting combination of ideas.
