Tronhard Goldmember  More info | Jun 27, 2021 16:45 | #1225 Right now, in New Zealand, we have just passed the winter solstice. For NZ Maori it is actually the beginning of their new year: the season of Matariki - heralded by the rise of the Pleiades star cluster into our view. Not only does it celebrate the season, but it represents a celebration of the revitalization of Maori culture and identity It has become a major period of celebration in recent years, and in fact the government has announced a public holiday, to begin from 2022, to celebrate the event.

The only time I saw the end of a game was just over a week ago when he played one guy and lost with very few pieces on the board. But I've watched him play three people and he is really fast, and this forces his opponents to be really fast. It's not unusual for pieces to get knocked over when one of the players reaches for the clock but, like all good chess players, they know where that piece came from and always seem to put it back in the right place. It's fun to watch, but mainly if you're a chess player. We photographers have far better things to do with our time... Garry Knight

scriveyn Goldmember  More info | I only ever played two at a time, don't remember whether I won both or had to draw on one. A new European record was set in November 2010 by German Marc Lang in Sontheim, Germany, playing 35 opponents with 19 wins, 13 draws, and 3 losses over a period of 23 hours.[9] Lang improved the world record a year later in November 2011 once again in Sontheim by playing 46 opponents simultaneously and blindfolded, with 25 wins, 19 draws and just 2 losses.[9][10] On Dec 3, 2016, Timur Gareyev played 48 opponents with a mask before his eyes and sitting on an exercise bike, resulting in 35 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses. source: Wikipedia Frank, also known as jazzman
