BBC Look East report on a chess exhibition, where the exhibitor plays 40 games simultaneously.

There is a low-angle shot showing four men sitting behind chess boards, the exhibitor stands opposite and makes his move. A young boy sits behind another board, chatting to the exhibitor, who soon moves across to play a move against another challenger. Another young boy is shown moving his King towards that of the exhibitor, who continues shuffling between the various boards, making his moves. The report concludes with a wide shot of the whole room, which reveals that the exhibitor is playing approximately forty games simultaneously.
