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

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. :-(

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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