There was a simultaneous display by Super GM Yasser Seirawan of the USA in Cardiff on the 30th April 2006, at Cardiff YMCA The Walk. Just before the start of the simul, GM Yasser gave a superb presentation including a brief history of his chess career, which was warmly applauded. Then GM Yasser Seirawan only took around 5 hours of great chess play to win against 31 opponents and draw with the remaining 6. Details below. We had 37 opponent in total, with several visitors for the presentation with a few surprised visitors, see bottom of photo gallery. Full detailed report by Charles Summers |
