Social conflicts over the Vietnam War and racism escalate, lead to worldwide protests and riots.
One special event was a clock simul by GM Robert James Fischer against five selected top Greek players, in 1968.
In clock simuls, all games are played on a time constraint, measured by a chess clock.
B White Result Black ECO Moves 1 Fischer R.J ½-½ Trikaliotis G. B30 50-50 2 Fischer R.J 1-0 Vizantiadis L. D50 36-36 3 Fischer R.J 1-0 Ornithopoulos N. B45 48-47 4 Fischer R.J 1-0 Kokkoris H. B95 45-45 5 Fischer R.J 1-0 Anastasopoulos A. C69 30-29 4½-½ 209-207It seems that Fischer was a bit bored or underestimated the Greek players.
The only photo I could find comes from the walls of the respected Greek Chess Club ‘Skakistikos Omilos Ampelokipon’.
