  GrahamClayton: On the 28th of September 1951 Roos played a 16-board simultaneous exhibition at the Brooklyn Chess Club in New York, finishing with a +10, -4, +2 score.

Is this still the record for the most games in a simul performance by a US women's player? What is the largest simultaneous exhibition given by a female player?
