Chess world record

A Bulgarian chess champion has begun playing 360 chess matches in an attempt to break the world record for the number of chess games played simultaneously. The 360 rivals are seated in rows of tables, which Kiril Georgiev will work his way through in the Bulgarian capital, Sofia.  He needs to win 80% of the games to beat a record set in Hungary in 2005.  Georgiev is a 3-times National Champion, and a former Under-18 World Champion. His opponents range in age from children to pensioners, and were randomly chosen from a pool of 600.
