If I was there I would have made a point of wearing a black and white check shirt.
Posted by photoDude at July 6, 2006 04:04 AMi always have wanted to be a part of this! never got a chance back in india!
Posted by aashish at July 6, 2006 07:29 AMvery good angle from above.
Posted by Chantal at July 6, 2006 07:43 AMUnique and interesting shot Sam. Well done.
Posted by Dave Mac at July 6, 2006 07:54 AMNice capture. Did he win every game?
Posted by Steve W at July 6, 2006 08:28 AMwow! and the black and white is amazing..
Posted by shula at July 6, 2006 09:04 AMnice one!
r u on the upstairs?!
good view!:)
What a great photo! Nice vantage point. The B&W works well (matches the game).
Posted by photosapience at July 6, 2006 09:55 AMI love your sharp and crisp wide angle shots! They contain so much information.
Posted by Christian at July 6, 2006 09:58 AMthat guy is definitely a show off....
Posted by Ash at July 6, 2006 10:06 AMNice shot.... i wonder how this guy thinks about each game, or does he forget each one until he returns to it ?
Did anyone beat him ?
Posted by dan at July 6, 2006 10:47 AMI can see why you turned this photo to black and white... It's already very confusing.
Posted by mucig at July 6, 2006 10:58 AMSome of the players look quite bored waiting for their turn to come again. It's a great composition though, having it B&W to coincide with the chess pieces is a great idea too, if that was in fact your idea...if not, happy accident I guess.
Posted by Lukin at July 6, 2006 12:59 PMEgo displays. Great! So how did the master do - that's what I want to know?
And I note the fellow who seems to be photographing you and the others up where you are.
That standard lens is quite capable.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at July 6, 2006 01:10 PMHe had two draws, and one fellow managed to beat him. The ordeal took him 2:45 to complete.
Posted by Nima at July 6, 2006 06:02 PMHah I saw him doing that on Monday. Didn't really stick around to watch but I knew this was what he was doing.
Posted by Raffi at July 6, 2006 09:26 PMI love this lens. I wish I could have faced him.
Posted by Andrew Goloida at July 6, 2006 10:52 PMThe absolute perfect vantage for this shot. Love it.
Posted by Neil at July 7, 2006 08:34 AMThough position is more important than piece count, out of six well developed games, four players seem to be giving Pascal a run for the money with nearly equal exchange of pieces.
Posted by Kevin at July 7, 2006 04:47 PMwow, i can't even win when playing against one person! that guy must be a genious!
great angle
Posted by Kevin at July 8, 2006 12:12 PMAccording to The Star, he tied twice, and lost once - impressive, but not undefeated.
Posted by David at July 8, 2006 05:21 PMvery nice view , and very good result for Pascal Charbonneau; 29-0!
what was highest rating player in this simultaneous chess play?
Top left player... Jason Alexander?
