  • Shirov at the SCC on February 18, 2010

    On Thursday, February 18, 2010, Grandmaster Alexei Shirov visits the Scarborough Chess Club to play a simultaneous exhibition. According to the 2010 FIDE list, Shirov is #20 among active players in the world with an ELO rating of 2723. Shirov is a former World Champion (under 16) and once rose to be rated fourth in the world.

    The simultaneous exhibition will be limited to 25 players. Scarborough Chess Club members will have the first chance to reserve a spot to play against Shirov. The fee to play Shirov will be $20 for SCC members and $25 for all others. A $10 deposit is required to reserve your spot at the Shirov simultaneous exhibition. Until Thursday, January 14, we will be taking deposits from SCC members only. Thereafter if there are any places left, they will be opened up beyond the club. Details of how non-SCC members can register for the event will be posted to ChessTalk after January 14. The same information will also be posted on the SCC web site.

    SCC members who want to ensure that they will have a chance to play Shirov, should bring their deposit to the club on January 14. Scarborough Chess Club President, Maurice Smith will be handling the registrations for the event.
