Chess Blog for Daily Chess News and Trivia (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2013
Hello everyone,
Hello everyone,
Is World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen really calm when playing chess? We will find out when the Norwegian Grandmaster plays a 20-player chess simul at America’s biggest tradeshow CES 2014.
The World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen will hold a simultaneous exhibition hosted by his main sponsor Nordic Semiconductor. During the match, Carlsen will use a wrist-worn heart rate monitor provided by Mio. Carlsen’s heart rate, and that of the twenty people he will be playing, will be wirelessly transmitted to North Pole Engineering’s WASP ANT/Wi-Fi bridge and from there to a large screen.
In fact, you can try for a chance to play in the Nordic Semiconductor-sponsored chess simul if you happen to be one of the lucky 20 that get selected from the winners of the quiz on the site. Players will also be given a signed chess board among other prizes. The skills required are not higher than just another hobby player. To participate answer a few simple questions and solve an easy chess puzzle. The lucky winners will be noticed well in advance. Closing date for entry is December 19, 2013, 12:00:00 PST.
