Players in Dublin get the chance to take on the World Junior Chess Champion.
The showroom of a Dublin garage was the venue for a challenge that saw World Junior Chess Champion Tony Miles play 43 matches simultaneously.
After an hour and twenty two minutes, Tony Miles had won the first contest. He completed all 43 games within four hours with thirty eight wins, two draws and three losses.
The event took place ahead of the four day Dundrum International Chess Congress at Wesley College in Ballinteer, Dublin.
