Simuls for members of chessclub.com

Chessclub.com offers its members a number of simultaneous exhibitions
("simuls") by titled players each week.  Simuls give you a chance to
spend an hour or more playing against a Grandmaster or International
Master.  The master plays a number of people at the same time, going
from game to game making one move in each game.  Because of the large
number of games and the clock, the master usually has to make each
move with only a few seconds of thought.  This gives players of all
strengths a chance to win.

A couple new weekly simuls have been added recently.  Here is a 
complete list:

Tuesdays 7pm:   IM Schroer, 35 35 time control, free, limited to
                the first 35 players, help Schroer.
NEW:
Wednesdays 5pm: GM Rustemov ("Goldmund"), 30 30 time control,
                5-chekel fee.
NEW:
Fridays, 7pm:   IM Schroer, 30 30 time control,
                3-chekel fee.  Begins January 21.

Saturdays 1pm:  GM Zarnicki ("garompon"), 30 0 time control,
                5-chekel fee.

Sundays 11am:   IM Schroer, 35 35 time control, free, limited to
                the first 35 players, help Schroer.

To play in a simul, show up 10 minutes early in channel 3, and watch
for instructions.  If there is a fee, you need to issue the "c-offer"
command in advance.  help chekels explains how to buy chekels with
the "c-buy" command for one dollar each, and how to offer them.

Good luck in your games!
