Boris Gelfand chess exhibition

[likuet6]

LOL I saw something else than a belt at 2:48

[SaraTGinMD]

He sure did sign his name fast at the 3:08 mark. I recall as a boy playing against Bent Larsen in a simul and asked him to sign my paper after our game and he made such an unimaginable squiggle of a nothing line on it in a half a second that it bothered me for years afterwards. :-(

[NuklearStarcraft]

I love simul's and I always love teaching kids to play chess, they really have unique ways of thinking. (and that dancing kid made me laugh, they're so stress free at that time in their life) If only to be a kid again...

And for the person who said simuls look boring, they're not. I gladly accept the wait to play with a grandmaster, it is a great honor in my eyes.

[professorquack]

yeah but this guy would totally lose to these kids in Call of Duty.

[wrich1162]

lmao 2:56

[nanuka711]

i loveeeeeeeeeeeee Gelfand!!!!! he will always be my fevorite GM!!!!

[khingratsaphone]

he raped those kids!!

[Chewy427]

Simuls look damn boring. Imagine making an opening move then waiting for the guy to come all the way round.

[Skiaffo]

lol i could do that too with kids!!

[83clowns]

super GM playin with kids ??? ah hell naw.

[Omariov]

[Ruxistico]

@Omariov gongratz! Most have felt awesome. Boris is such a badass chess player

[HersheyAndElliot]

my dad grew up with boris gelfan and was friends with him in minsk

[mjethen]

and that's all you have to say about it?

[foolman89]

I wish they did simuls in el paso!!! :( but no such luck

[MAfr3ak]

lol the little kid dancing

[donotstab]

best part lol

[SirSmosh]

2:30 :D

[Aokiji1]

Simuls are always fun to attend ^_^

[wsajr]

The song is:

"One Way Or Another" (Rugrats)

[undeadnightorc]

I thought it was Blondie, but it's been a while since I heard it.

[wsajr]

U correct friend! =]

Blondie - One Way or Another

[guy0307]

2:30-2:58 :D

[tomclancy8]

roflmao at the 6 year old at 2.55 XD

[Rollich]

The very little kid with the soda bottle is precious. ... The most difficult part of a simultaneous exhibition for most top grandmasters is walking around for what can be several hours.

[zdogg10]

either those kids were prodigies..or yeah he was playing with little kids...

[ValmidenioBarros]

He was thinking "Wow! He made an awful blunder! I gonna beat this guy"

[lolboy123]

2:30 that kid :O

[kipperking25]

i like chess

harry potter played chess u no

[Shadowboost]

I wonder how he'd respond to a6 LOLZ.

[JackSpee]

first he'd think to himself "wtf?" then play d7

[IrishMusicMan]

check out my chess video

[puffyfan2]

Muhipac, In a simultaneous chess exhibition, the Master always plays White in every game. It's a technical rule.

[rwsmith29456]

Actually it's nice to take time for a bunch of kids.

[crissyfrog]

Yes but you bet someone had to pay Boris,GM's do nothing for free

[abgalid]

I am just a regular chess player but I once conducted this 'simultaneous chess' with 30 of my students (aged 12) in my English class as a last-day-of-school activity to see what it was like playing against multiple opponents. It got stressful after twenty minutes but it was a fun experience for me and I gave prizes to the five who managed to beat me at the end of the day. You all should give it a try.

[stargleamer]

He should have played them all blindfold, like Najdorf and Koltanowski did years ago.

[jazzfella66]

I would love to play some champion chess player haha. lucky kids.

[IrishMusicMan]

any1 could take on a bunch of kids

[chessmom64]

This wasn't an ordinary group of kids. Most are nationally ranked as among the top players for their age group in the country, and almost all have studied with Boris's childhood chess instructor from Belarus who now lives in the Chicago area.

[crissyfrog]

You don't know chess very well then,these kids i bet all have some kind of grade

[Muhipac]

Is not big deal ,but what really sucks is the fact he takes white in every table .

[puffyfan2]

In a simultaneous exhibition, the Master always plays White. It's a rule.

[PhilomathBret]

That is how all simultaneous exhibitions are.

[Veo77]

boris beating up on little kids? big deal.

[alecsus27]

good idea for this video, but musical background is totaly inapropriate.

[chessmom64]

I didn't like the song choice either, but I had trouble coming up with something. Any suggestions?

[KingCaturix]

These kids putting stress on Gelfand? He could beat a group consisting solely of IM's in a clock simul.

[chessmom64]

Actually, two kids managed a draw.

[lolazman]

@chessmom64 was the kid at 2:55 one of them? :P

[Mylynes]

wow

[dreamcastII]

Good video of a simul. note its not a clock simul - that would have put the stress more on Gelfand

[marsic]

wat was the song?

[datruzepp]

daim random zong
