GM MATCH ON 12 CHESS BOARDS

Navara and Movsesyan to break the world record

[02.12.2016 00:00:00] - On the first December Sunday, an extraordinary chess event will take place in the shopping centre Lužiny. The best Czech chess player David Navara will fight against a member of the World Chess Championship and Olympics Team Sergey Movsesyan. The match will be held on 12 chess boards simultaneously.
A similar match took place in 1982 in Tbilisi, Georgia, between the former World Champion Michail Tal and the legendary David Bronstein, using 8 chess boards. Therefore, the GMs David Navara and Sergey Movsesyan are about to create a new world record.
The match will start on Sunday 4 December at 3 PM; the speed will be 90 minutes for 40 moves plus 30 minutes until the end of the game with 30s extra for every move. The match will take place in the central part of the 2nd floor of the shopping centre and it will be streamed in the restaurant of the local mini brewery (on the 3rd brewery), where you can meet interesting guests, have a beer and kibitz the game. The commentators of the match will be the legendary GM Vlastimil Hort and the young master Tadeáš Kriebel.
If you arrive in the shopping centre in the morning already, you can play against the GMs David Navara and Sergey Movsesyan in an alternative simul at 11 AM. The participation in the simul is for free, so first come, first checkmate!


The linocut for the event posters was made by the well-known Czech artist Jan Hrubý.
