Does any of you know if it the simultaneuos exhibition which starts the movie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUKgbgtFuwQ - was real and, if so, when and where it took place? (please take a look at Peter Leko's look at Kasparov - from 2:57 - as wellWink)

It's actually an interesting video. Kasparov is playing a 30 game simul and he is giving up a draw and losing one of the games. He is upset and complaining to the organizer because the two players doing well are being coached by a master and nobody told him he would be facing a master.  

I think he has a point. They should have let him know.

Did you watch the video? It announces the location and date of the simul several times? 

Sci-bono Center, Johannesburg. November 13, 2011. Johannesburg is in South Africa.

Thank you. My question refers to the first video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUKgbgtFuwQ - and the exhibition at the very beginning (where Garry took a sit against a boy).

Johannesburg is just a P.S.

The first simul was not real. It was a commercial for AltaVista, an early search engine.

Thanks, it is what I was suspecting. And what do you think about Peter Leko's psychological powers - https://youtu.be/g4Ub7qQhZWk?t=30s Wink
