A chess simul is an exhibition where one person, who is usually a stronger player, plays multiple games against different opponents at the same time.
Did you know you can host a simul on our platform?
Any premium member can host their own simul exhibitions on the site. To do that, you first need to turn that option on by going to our Play page and clicking the settings icon, which looks like a cog.
You must then select the Play tab and then the Live tab to see the Multiple Games option. Turn that feature on, and you'll be ready to host your simuls!
Once you do this, you'll be able to accept multiple incoming challenges from other players. You can see all the games you're playing in the Open tab inside the Games tab on the Play page.
