Another little known fact - Roman had three chess-playing brothers: Milan, Napoleon and Venetian. Venetian was particularly good at playing blind.
Aha! So this must have been a chess talent from a very, very young age (or he got his name only later in life). Otherwise, there is no way to explain how his parents were able to give such an appropriate name. After all, the most famous Venetian Doge was Enrico Dandolo, known for leading the siege of Constantinople while being stone-blind...

The only alternative explanation is that an elder brother of his took his eyes out with a bishop after loosing to the ZubenelgenubiZubeneschamali Attack ....
