一万多棋手齐齐对杀 !

墨西哥棋讯: 墨西哥星期日(22日)打破西方象棋同场弈战的世界纪录: 13,446名棋手齐齐对杀!

去年墨西哥的纪录是12,388人.

有消息提到2.3万的数字, 我们认为这数字不对了!

我们引用墨西哥网上消息来源如下:

We quote the following news item which we happened to encounter announcing a new world record for chess in Mexico:

Quote

MEXICO CITY – Mexico set a new record for simultaneous chess games Sunday when 13,446 players faced off at the same time in a vast Spanish colonial square at the heart of the former Aztec empire, Mexico City officials said.

Players seated in Mexico City's Zocalo square beat last year's record of 12,388 simultaneous games set in the nearby Mexican city of Pachuca.

Unquote


Some sources mentioned the figure of 23,000 players, we think this is misguided and misleading, unfortunately.

Any comment(s)?
