Fischer Simul in Münster 1970 Rediscovered
September 20, 2019
From Andre Schulz in ChessBase:
In 1970 Bobby Fischer played his last Olympiad — in Siegen, Germany. After the Olympiad he gave two simuls in Germany, one in Solingen, one in Münster. Now the score sheets of the games, unknown pictures of Fischer and newspaper articles about the simul in Münster were rediscovered. A remarkable find!
Fischer allowed a maximum number of 20 opponents. However, he did not set a limit to the strength of his opponents and expected rather strong players.
Fischer was playing alternately with White and with Black and at 6 pm he started to get down to work.
Fischer finished the 20 games in three hours, which was rather long for him because Fischer was considered to be one of the fastest simul players around.
However, Fischer's result was not particularly good; he lost against Budt (Bünde), Langhanke (Caissa Münster), Lentze (Münster 32), Dr. Poeschel (Münster 32), and drew against Nehmert. The other 15 games were won by Fischer.
The story of the simuls and how the games came to light recently are given in the ChessBase article by Schulz.
