On February 24th 1988 in New York City, the then World Champion 24 year old Garry Kasparov, took on six strong American Juniors in a clock simul. This was shown on UK TV at the time.
I am not sure if I missed it, but the man with the full beard and mustache, who was working with Kasparov, is probably the most influential non-titled player of the last 37 years. He has known, and been friends with, all of the world champions during that time. Many GMs during that time, if not most, have become GMs due to his work. He is none other than Frederic Friedel, the owner of ChessBase. What you see Garry using is a pre-ChessBase-1.0 version. Frederic gave Garry a pre-release copy (not yet versioned 1.0) of the software with the serial number 00001. It is very fitting that Garry had the very first copy of the program. He and Frederic are still good friends to this day.

Yes indeed, Frederic Friedel is mentioned in the credits at the end of this program.

how long was it between Garry getting the program and when it became available to others? seems like an advantage

Toblerone was always Kasparov's chocolate of choice and he would specify it as part of his tournament riders.

While some of these junior players would go onto become grandmasters, none reached a particularly high level of international play. Interestingly the next junior to come onto the scene was Gata Kamsky who would emigrate to the U.S. in 1989, and would later play for the world championship against Karpov in 1996.

This was insane from Garry to attempt this, all of the young players went on to become IM's or GM's, Garry has had other simuls through his career, he beat the Israeli Olympic team 7-1 ! 4 x 2600gms!, I don't remember Carlsen every attempting anything like this...

How many of these guys became GMs? Fishbein, Wolff (who beat Kasparov here), Gurevich all did. I don't think Rao, Ronde or Edelman did. Especially interesting about Edelman who offered the early draw.

Interesting to see Chessbase in 1988. It's a similar interface to my first version of Fritz, which I know was built by the same company.

Kasparov was very mad with Danny Edelman repeating the position so early in the game. I suppose Edelman should have shown more fighting spirit, but then again Kasparov could have avoided that situation by playing a different variation. And Wolff wearing the Michael Jackson 'True Criminal' hat is interesting. The song was released about nine months after this simul.

If you look at the game, it was a really pathetic position for white to take a draw in so early in the game. It screwed over his team and was a cowardly decision, he had a lot of options to keep the game going and maintain an advantage for white at that stage of the game. It was honestly a despicable decision by Edelman and Kasparov was rightly disgusted.
