My great Uncle played Bobby Fischer in the 70's and actually beat him.
That's still very impressive to beat him in a simul. For the most part those guys do not lose in live simuls. Given Fischer is strength your uncle probably was National Master level I'd assume (if the time controls were lengthy).
One of the downsides to how chess players have moved from ICC to chess.com is you don't really get the huge gap in rating matches. (Chess.com automatically sets your search paremeter at -200 +200. You can manually change it then. With rating pools if you were a 2000+ you could forseeably match a Super GM.
