1000 Bright Minds
Dear Player!
I am International Chess Master Attila Turzo. Thank you for reading this blog post. I started to play at age 7 and I always liked to play with strong players. I was happy when I played chess against a Master in a simultaneous exhibition. I became International Master at age 18 and then I started to play in simultaneous exhibitions about children and amateur players and I enjoyed a lot and I still enjoy it.
Then the age of the internet arrived and it opened new possibilities in chess. You can play with a Master from your room. There are million chess players on the planet who lives in cities where Chess Masters do not live. I got the idea to give them a chance to play with an International Chess Master. I wanted to create an event which is special and can be remembered later. Then I decided to play chess with 1000 players simultaneously in the same time.
They are the 1000 Bright Minds 
I hope you are one of them and we will play a game full of wonders and beauties.
