What is a chess simultaneous exhibition? A chess simultaneous exhibition is an event where a skilled chess player—usually a master or grandmaster—plays multiple games at the same time against a group of opponents. The boards are typically arranged in a circle or row, and the master moves from board to board, making one move at a time before proceeding to the next. Simultaneous exhibitions are both entertaining and educational, offering a unique opportunity for players of all levels to test their abilities against a top-level competitor.

This event is hosted by the Office of Program and Innovation and The Auxiliary Program
