Jim Binnie of Dumbarton Chess Club helped organise a simultaneous at Dumbarton Academy last night and presented me with two bottles of wine. I managed to win all 15 games. If there is demand there could be more displays.
One of the teachers there took a photo for the school magazine and said she was a spectator at the 1984 Karpov simul in Glasgow. I told her I was celebrating 50 years of chess as I learnt the moves due to a Xmas present of the Encyclopedia Britannica in 1967.
Bishopbriggs Academy are early favourites to retain the schools title due to a vital 3.5-2.5 win v Glasgow Academy. Hyndland Secondary are leading the Junior section and Our Lady of the Missions Primary the Primary section but many matches are still to be played.
