GM Davorin Kuljasevic was invited inside the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium on 15th September 2014 to deliver a chess lecture and a simultaneous exhibition.
The invitation came from the famous Chess Club Europchess, founded in 1972 under the official name “cercle d’échecs des Communautés européennes C.E.C.E”. Such invitations have been a tradition since 1973 when GM O’Kelly delivered a simultaneous exhibition. Former World champions Garry Kasparov and Veselin Topalov are among the many Grandmasters who have accepted the challenge.
Croatian GM Davorin Kuljasevic delivered a one-hour lecture, followed by three-and-a-half-hour simultaneous exhibition on 24 boards. Enjoy the photos below!
