I can try.  Just the non-wins by Molner?  I imagine it may be tougher to obtain any of Molner's wins.happy.png

By Lev Zilbermintz's count there were a total of 20 players in the simul, not 22, making Molner's record 14 wins 5 losses and 1 draw.  I am not sure which is correct but there seems to be agreement on Molner losing 5 and drawing 1.

Despite the format, with 20 boards and only 45 minutes, GM Molner was moving very quickly and reached winning positions in every game despite the five losses on time.

Here is a game from the simul played by GM Mac Molner and Bobby Qian, NJ highest rated 8 year old:

Only draw from simul that Mac had to take with just a minute on the clock in a winning position:
