Chess Grandmaster 25 board Simultaneous Exhibition in Pukekohe
Chess Simultaneous Exhibition by Grandmaster Dejan Bojkov
Sponsored by the Franklin Chess Club Pukekohe in conjunction with the New Zealand Chess Federation
I am Pleased to announce the Franklin Chess Club from Pukekohe will host the first ever Simultaneous Chess Exhibition by a Grandmaster in the Counties Region in the Franklin Centre 12 Massey Avenue Pukekohe with Chess Grandmaster Mr Dejan Bojkov from Bulgaria who had a peak FIDE rating of 2558 points he will be in NZ from the 5th to the 24th July.
By way of an explanation of the title Grandmaster (GM), this is a title awarded to chess players by the world chess organization FIDE Apart from title World Champion Grandmaster is the highest title a chess player can attain.
The title of Grandmaster, along with the lesser FIDE titles of International Master (IM) and FIDE Master (FM), is open to both men and women. In New Zealand we have only one NZ Born Grandmaster, Mr Murray Chandler. In August 2018 there were 1621 Grandmasters in the world.
At our Simultaneous Exhibition Grandmaster Bojkov will play 25 different players at the same time, he will make the first move against each of the 25 players (as is normal practice in a Simul Grandmaster Bojkov will have white in all Games) he will then continue to circulate around the same 25 players until all 25 games are finished
If I have more than 25 players that want to play Grandmaster Bojkov I will draw the names out of a hat on the day. There are Simul etiquette rules which we will follow I will explain those to the 25 players and interested parties as a Group on the day.
Of course, anyone can attend spectators are more than Welcome. Franklin Chess Club members will be on site to provide information
