The event took place in the "Luziny" shopping mall in Prague and many people stopped to see the grandmasters in action.
The poster for the match was designed by Jan Hruby, a well-known Czech artist.

The grandmasters first had to show their skills by...
... playing against the public.
But then Sergei Movsesian (left ) and David Navara (right)
were to play a simul of 12 games against each other.
This was not the first such simul...
... but never before have two grandmasters played so many games
simultaneously against each other.
12 games - that's a new world record. Both players are probably happy to set this world record but David Navara is probably a bit happier - he won the match 8.5-3.5.
