  • Brigitta Sinka

    Here's a good way to start your chess week, a story about a 87-year-old Hungarian "supergranny", Brigitta Sinka, who is about to evidently beat Capablanca's record for simultaneous play (:

    How does an "amateur" document such a record? Capablanca, being well-known, would have had most of his simuls documented in local newspapers - but someone less-known, like her? Where's the proof? There would be others (e.g. someone like Jude Acers) who could claim that record.

    She has 59 games in my database - from the 50's to the 80's.
