In the excellent 'Endgame' Frank Brady bio on Bobby Fischer, the first chapter mentions Bobby walking down the street in New York playing blind chess with his tutor. That floored me! Blind Chess!!! I mean how on earth...? I forget where pieces are when I'm looking at the damn board!
+Czegenyi Raymond You could certainly make a case for that thesis. Probably his only real competitors would be Fischer and Kasparov. Maybe Botvinnik and Rubinstein.
+Wladyslaw der Streiter It means with a blindfold, which is something that blocks your vision. So he was playing without seeing the board and the pieces. Have a nice day :)
+MatoJelic Hi Mato, thank you, my rating increased from 1200 to 1450 after watching your videos. Fried liver attack, Traxler counter attack, Sicilian defence, Ruy Lopez, Queens Gambit (declined or not) and many other openings, how to play middle- and endgames in a proper way, I learned it all here. I was surprised to read, that Botvinik is one of your favorite players. After the Keres series, I thought you would prefer Keres to Botvinik.
I laughed way too hard when you said forking the whole village xD thank you
This game was way to complicated for me...and I wasn't even blindfolded
'Forking the whole village', lol

Nothing like a king hunt video from Mato
How does one play simultaneously and/or blindfold? Can they visualize the state of the board in their heads?
Something to do with partitioning the board into segments in your head. Piece layout in segments are often repeated and easier to remember.
They was born on chess board
how do you keep in mind all the moves when playing blindfold?
Very Nice Attack!
Hw many wins/draws 4 Alekhine in tht blind simul Sir ?
THANK YOU
Thanks mato
Maybe is Alekhine the greatest player of all time? This guy is awesome!!

+Czegenyi Raymond .......... Personally, I think Keres was better.
Lasker perhaps?
Balázs Szabó nice game. thanks
Even were it without blindfold it would still be excellent... With? Flabbergasting!
Have a nice weekend!
after a while mato finally replied me am in tears
How about some games from some of the other Soviet masters ?
What about at 9:24 pawn g7?
My line as I see it:
B.Kh7, W.Qh6, B.KnxQ, W.RxR and the pawn can easy promotes.
Maybe W.Qg5 insted, sorry.
Good game !!
Wow Alekhin's 🔫 🔫 👌
Majo telic i think you should make new thumbnails
good fight from Rua.
8:54. after g6 why not queen takes rook? if queen takes queen then rook takes queen, black could continue
