On 27th November 2000, we were pleased to welcome back Mr. Tim Rogalski from the USA for the 2nd Simultaneous World Chess Exhibition. Mr. Tim played 18 of our best players at the same time in a match that lasted for nearly three hours. The event was braodcast live on television screens around the school and also on the internet.

We selected 18 of our best students from both the Primary and Secondary school. The competition started at four in the afternoon with Mr. Tim walking around the room playing one piece at a time. Once Mr. Tim had made his move, the students were given about 1-2 minutes thinking time as it took Mr. Tim a little while to walk around the room making one move on each of the 18 boards.

On his return, the students had to make their move straight away. They weren't allowed to move while he was elsewhere. The students really enjoyed the two hour exhibition even though none of them were winners. This has now become an annual event. We look forward to meeting Mr. Tim again in 2001.
