It was a fantastic one! Everyone enjoyed the Tandem Simultaneous Exhibition presented by GM Eric Hansen and GM Robin van Kampen today at Oriole!

There were quite a few no shows who ‘got stuck’ at the Ontario Chess Challenge.  They were doing playoffs and waiting for their trophies. Congrats!

Back to the simul. There were 38 players. Except one player left quite early, Eric and Robin won all the games.

Although Eric and Robin were nice enough not to charge a fee for promoting junior chess. We were so happy to raise another $700. In addition to the $700 raised from the event at Seneca Hill Saturday program, we had a total of $1,400. Our girls, Sarah and Tiffany presented that to the two GMs at the end of the simul.

We wish Eric and Robin all the best in their chess career and especially the upcoming Chess Olympiad 2014.
