Fundraising simuls at Oriole – Part 1

By corinnawan
June 5, 2012 //
There were many more players coming to Oriole the past Sunday than I expected. I am sure we would achieve our fundraising goal. WCM Yelizaveta Orlova was the first host of our 3 simuls at Oriole.
It was my inexperience in running a simul (In fact, it was my first time.) that made Liza play under time pressure. Liza did amazingly well and eventually won all 22 games. (Liza offered a draw to a player who had to leave early.)
I definitely learnt how to do a better simul for FM Aman Hambleton coming Sunday.
Please scroll down to see the details of the upcoming two simuls on June 10 and 17.
