The reigning Chess960 world champion Peter Leko and his challenger Peter
Svidler played the first ever Chess960 simul on 20 boards. There were
20 different initial positions on the boards to make it a real challenge
for both players. It was not an easy task for the tow top-players, because
they could not make use of their enormous opening knowledge. However,
their general understanding of the game was enough to win the simul
comfortably against 20 ambitious club players, they both scored 17,5-2,5.
