After a month of training – mainly walking and saunas – Kiril Georgiev was ready to take the challenge and play a simultaneous exhibition against 360 opponents. For every move the Bulgarian GM had to walk half a kilometer, and after six hours of play had made only eight moves. After 14 hours it was over, he had scored 88% with 284 wins, 70 draws and 6 losses. The record was broken!Report by GM Dejan Bojkov from ChessBase.com
UPDATE: Chessdom.com interviews GM Kiril Georgiev about his record-setting feat.
