To me it was great fun, I was confronted with a much stronger player and a opening I had never played/seen. Thank you for taking all this time to even play lower rated guys like me :)

MSC157

Well, it's the time to announce the result. It was a pleasure to play with all of you! Thanks to all who helped the simul - RetiFan: comments, Martin0: Updates, and so on and so on... Laughing


 

So, I finished my biggest simul so far with the result:

  • 42 wins
  • 0 losses 
  • 8 draws

Average opponent's rating: 1529,18
Highest rated: MaartenSmit (1955)
Lowest rated: mrchess132 (752)

The shortest game: 6 moves
The longest game: 58 moves
Average moves / game: 28,12 moves  

In 12 games, it was Sicilian defence on the board, 5/11 it was Najdorf variation.
Openings when I drew: 4× Sicilian, 2× Ruy Lopez & French defence 


 

That's it. Later, I will post my favourite 3 games. Smile


MSC157

OK, here we go. The first game I chose is a draw with the highest rated participant. I sacrificed a lot, but somehow lost in calculations and variations, so a deserved draw for Maarten.

MSC157

This one I won due to good opening preparation (theory to move 16). I know the line very well, I also introduced ...e4 in these positions.

MSC157

And that one. I used Silman's advices about Bxh7, postes just a week before the game.

I tried something similar in blitz, didn't work as well...missed my opponents defensive resource.



MSC157

Yes, deadly Be4! Good try though!

Well done! Very interesting simul & its games!
