The hardest type of simultaneous exhibition for the host is undoubtedl the blindfold simul. Here is Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen playing a blindfold simultaneous exhibition in 2015:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A simultaneous chess game (more commonly known as a simultaneous exhibition) is a type of chess exhibition, in which one player (known as the host) plays against several other players simultaneously. Let’s learn more about simuls together!<\/p>\n
In a simultaneous exhibition (simul for short) the host player moves from board to board, making a single move each time. The hosts are usually experienced players, often Grandmasters, while the participants have various playing strengths.<\/p>\n
There are three main types of simuls:<\/p>\n
In regular simuls, the host usually plays with the White pieces, moving from board to board in a predetermined order, playing a move each time. Even though time is not a constraint, the host will usually try to avoid lengthy thinking pauses, making mistakes and blunders<\/a> more common.<\/p>\n In clock simuls, all games are played on a time constraint, measured by a chess clock. Usually, the number of participants is lower in clock simuls<\/strong>, as the host has a significant time advantage with his clock ticking on all boards at the same time.<\/p>\n The hardest type of simultaneous exhibition for the host is undoubtedl the blindfold simul.
