How to make a masters eyes light up

Despite waking up to -3 degrees this morning, Canberra turned on a perfect winters day for the ANU Co-Op Bookshop Simul. And IM Andras Toth turned out a perfect performance scoring 17 wins, no draws and no losses against the assembled opposition. The players were a mixture of Canberra club players (rated between 1200 and 1750) and adventurous passers by (including one visitor from Kazakhstan).
Under instructions to finish the simul under 1 hour and 45 minutes, IM Toth obliged, finishing the final game with 30 seconds to spare. He was helped by the opening choice of some of his opponents with no less than 4 French Defences (as far as I could see). Now if I was giving a simul, the French Defence would be the one opening I would love to see, as pawn on e5, Bishop on d3, and a queen heading for g4 or h5 is not only an easy plan to follow, but usually results in a quick knockout.
Oddly enough one of the games that looked like it would be over pretty quickly turned out to be the last game to finish. Milan Ninchich missed a tactical shot on move 14 and lost 2 pawns. However he dug in and missed a chance to draw right at the end with 48. ... Kd3 (instead of the losing 48. ... Be1).
