The Jewish Agency and the Israel Chess Federation invited hundreds of chess players, many of them new immigrants from the former Soviet Union to break the Guinness world record for simultaneous chess play against Israeli Grandmaster Alik Gershon. The world record of 500 games played simultaneously is now held by Iran. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)
