Aunt Bici sets chess world record

An 87-year-old Hungarian woman set a new world record in simultaneous chess by having played 13,600 such matches. Brigitta Sinka, known as Aunt Bici would like to have her performance recognized a Guinness world record.

Since the 1950s, Brigitta Sinka, a former top amateur player, has played 13,600 documented games of simultaneous chess across Hungary, usually on dozens of boards at the one time, taking on all-comers, many of them schoolchildren.

According to hunonchess.com, she overtook a total 13,545 matches attributed to Capablanca (1888-1942), one of the world’s best-ever players.
