Simul does decrease performance (naturally), I would not be surprised if the decrease is 20-40 points per opponent. so Garry played according to his rating if he had 10 opponents in each simul. on a related note, does anybody have some statistics on how simul decreases one's performance? the numbers I mentioned I got from a could of simuls I looked at a while ago.
