Back in the 70's I once played James Targan. He came to our chess club and played 64 simultaneous games.

Naturally, I had absolutely no expectation of beating him (His Rating being about 2-3 times higher than mine). But what really hurt is that he spent probably less than one second per move thinking of my game. He mopped the floor with me!

At least he could have acted like he need to think hard.

But if you have to get slaughtered, at least get slaughtered by one of the best.

But 360 games! wow.. just wow
