Grandmaster Michael Adams (perhaps a few years past his peak, but still #18 in the world on the
live ratings list and still Britain's top player) is in town for the Chicago Open (
you have two days to preregister!).
This past Saturday, Adams lectured for six (!) hours at the North Shore Chess Center, then gave a simultaneous exhibition against
nineteen twenty-one brave souls. (GM Adams only lost one game: to a sixth-grader! (To be fair, just as GM Adams is no ordinary grandmaster, National Elementary Co-Champion Alex Bian is
no ordinary sixth-grader.) The grandmaster makes a "typical" simul oversight: Alex finishes his task with steady and crisp technique.
Final score per Sevan Muradian: 16 wins, 4 draws, and the above loss.
One or two people may still be able to squeeze into the
Adams simul in Downers Grove on May 23rd.
