Simultaneous Chess

description Simultaneous Chess Overview

Simultaneous chess is an exhibition format in which one strong player, commonly a master or grandmaster, plays separate games against several opponents at the same time. The exhibitor normally moves from board to board, making a move on each board before returning to the next, while the opponents think between visits. The format tests calculation, memory, time management, and the ability to adapt to many positions.
