My sister Judit had a clock simul (against the blind and visually impaired chess players) yesterday to honor “Talent Day” in Hungary.
The idea was to promote ways to improve the lives of the blind and visually impaired individuals, through activities such as chess, dance, or Rubik’s cube.

This is such an amazing irony. Usually, it’s the GM who plays simul games blindfold. Maybe to lessen Judit’s advantage, she should have played blindfold as well. But a touching event, nonetheless.
Judit is so much hotter and better chess player than Kosteniuk.
great event, and a great idea!
wow, gives me the goosebumps – the name of the sponsor from the banner TMA actually spells a word in my language… it means DARKNESS in slovak…
In a clock simul, are the seated players allowed to make their move and punch their clock at any time (rather waiting until the person is back around to the board)?
They can move anytime. They usually move faster to force time to the simul giver.
