Ernesto Inarkiev Gives Blindfold Simul Against School Children from Pskov Oblast
The event took place in the chess club of Ostankino.
A former European Champion won all the games after three hours of play. A well-known 4-year-old chess prodigy Misha Osipov, famous for his games with Anatoly Karpov and Sergey Karjakin in various TV shows, offered the most stubborn resistance.
The grandmaster highly estimated abilities and potential of his opponents, who are participating in the Chess in Schools project (conducted by the RCF with support of Elena and Gennady Timchenko Charitable Foundation) and wished them good luck in chess.
