March 16th 2010 - Simuls by GM Gawain Jones, Palmerston North.
During the day the Grandmaster faced off with 29 members of the Palmerston North Boys High School Chess Club. The final score was +28 = 1. The Grandmaster was held to a draw by Michael Yuan, the 2009 School Champion and Board 1 player for the National School Team. In the evening GM Jones faced players from Palmerston North and some keen players who had travelled from Wanganui and Hastings for a chance at the Grandmaster. The final score was +15 -1. The sole win was achieved by former Palmerston North Champion Mathew King. Special thanks to local chess officals Martin Sims and Stewart Holdaway for arranging this event.
