 Did you have to pay or just turn up if yer think yer man enough

Usually it gets announced somewhere when there is a public simul for example on internet, this one was a "lastminute" simul, organized by a rather large chessclub in Amsterdam. So I wrote the organizers an email and I could play. In fact everyone can play but normally players of clubs are preferred, cos there ranking is known and they know the rules (and how to behave). Without ranking is ok too I think
In this case there was a small fee (about 6 dollars , 5 Euro) .
In fact her sponsor pays her to do the simul.
This afternoon there were 12 players, the max. number she plays is about 20 I was told by the organizer.
That same evening she played "chessdarts" LOL in Amstedam, as you are from England you might recognize the player 
He is not someone you overlook easily 
(This was a closed happening invités only)
The winning pic (from her site) :

Good that you had the balls to go along. Well done bennie

Chessdarts is new to everyone
It was just a funthing, but migt be played again next year.
As she is far, far away from Martina I added a close-up from her to the album
Success with your upgrading |

Its good that you found out you can play, and for such a small fee too. Have you any thoughts on joining a chess club?

Hi Martina !
The find out was not so difficult ...it was announced on the chessnewssite I regulary read. The fees are always small here ..sometimes it is free.
The Organizer/sponsor normally does most of the paying
You can see professional pics of this simul on her site !!

Yep and I did
I am not that good though |

You may notice she wears a "Von Dutch" shirt
They also have a pet clothing line I see, http://www.vondutch.com for more info |
Yes, i noticed the "Von Dutch" shirt, and thanks for the link.
hhmmmm, Maybe they should change the name "Pet" clothing line, to "Dog" clothing line
Hopefully they will come out with a nice little outfit for Charlie soon

Either that or, she is reaching for her nose to stop the smell
