Grand Master Samy Shoker came to our little club yesterday to play a group of us simultaneously. We managed to score one draw against him (me) which was better than his simul in Hobart the day before when he won all his games.
Samy was a great gentleman, and was great with sharing his knowledge, especially with the kids who were thrilled to be playing and talking (even laughing) with him.
Watch Round 7 of the Open and Women's Candidates live with us and our hosts IM Eric Rosen, IM Irene Sukandar and IM Laura Unuk on YouTube and Twitch! 🍿
We have a chess Grand Master visiting Launceston today. Samy Shoker from Egypt is on a working holiday in Australia and is spending some time in our beautiful state. He'll come to our club this evening 🙂
