And what's the point of that rule?
Help! I'm going to play Boris Spassky
Sort:
What were the results of the entire simul? How many other people were able to draw or beat Spassky?

@Elubas-"How much KG did you study?"
-- Loads and loads!
@tsyim21-"What were the results of the entire simul? How many other people were able to draw or beat Spassky?"
--Results for GM Spassky +19 =6
+25 -1 =11 actually with wins over fischer bronstein (twice) protisch najdorf and Karpov in 1982!
Colm, that was very impressive. You went for the the old-fashioned, gloves-off 4...g4 against Spassky, and that takes courage. And you have him on the ropes in the final position, too...

I remember seeing this post a while back when you first announced your opportunity. It popped back into my mind just this morning so I searched for it, and I was very happy to see the outcome. I suggest plundering every database you can get a hold of and see what all of the outcomes of the position are. Oh, imagine if you'd won...
Congratulations are in order here. That must have been some experience.
I'm another that's watched this thread from the sidelines, eager to see the results.
Congratulations, that sounds like a lot of fun and quite an experience. I'm glad everything worked out so well for you.
What they all said....

Youtube clip. Two seconds starting at 1:52.
From the Europe Echecs clip it appears Spassky played anti-clockwise so you would be next.
It wasn't touch move? wow that's weird.
See explanation here by Alexandra Kosteniuk.
"4. A simul-giver, according to the rules, has the possibility to change his/her mind after he/she made the move on the board until he/she makes a move on the next board. So if the GM after he/she already made the move on your board suddenly comes back to you board and makes another move instead of the previous one, don't argue, of course he/she knows the touch-move rule, but a simul is a special situation and you can be proud that you forced the GM to take the move back and thus proved that he/she made a mistake."
