  • While in NYC for the Play Live Challenge & Chess Works, Magnus did a timed, blind simul in front of thousands of people. There was no order, and Magnus had 1/3 of the time. Watch and see how it all went down.

      @@philippides Magnus is pure genius, what was so odd given the intelligence in the room and was the simple job of fitting the blindfold correctly. This was annoying as it's not a hard job to do. Maybe Magnus could put it on himself next time, or get a real blind person to do the job. I watched this with other chess players and they all said the same thing, wow what a God of chess Magnus is; and what was with the blindfold !

    I like that all three games had completely different dynamics and Magnus dominated all three nevertheless. Board 1, he dominated a player who played too passively, resulting in a brutal attack that eventually would result in mate or heavy material loss. Board 2, he played positionally and wound up with unstoppable center pawns. Board 3, he saw a nice tactic to provoke weakness from black (who had played well before that) and then mated the guy.

      Board 2 played well. He had counterplay on the Queenside and forced Magnus to abandon his Centre attack. He somehow blundered his b5 pawn, I have to think that’s time pressure because he strikes me as at least a 1600 elo player, though putting his Knight on h5 for the entire game didn’t do himself any favours. Instead of taking the pawn on e5, I thought he had a try with Ng7 and reroute to an outpost on f5. But once the central pawns started rolling it was hard to even have drawing chances. Board 3 just got crushed. Didn’t develop the light squared bishop for so long and allowed the position to open up. Board 1 didn’t play too bad but was just so conservative. H6 was a bad move early after the fianchetto of his bishop and didn’t allow him to castle kingside. But when you create an imbalance with opposite side castles, he has to storm the kingside. He gave Magnus all sorts of time with b4, a4 and a5 without any kingside or Centre counterplay. Overall, I would say only board 2 played a reasonably structured game and tried for counterplay. Good for him not to be intimidated by the world champion!

      Forget about pieces, how do you hold 64 squares in your head? It is impossible. Try imagining a chess board with 5 pieces placed all over the board and ask yourself which squares which piece controls and how can one piece make a reroute without being captured. Everyone seems to talk about memory and stuff when it comes to blindolf chess but how do you hold the chess board in your mind in the first place?
