DENVERHIGH
I remember when I saw George Koltanowski perform a blindfold exebition in San Francisco in the 1950's. I joined his Presidio chess club and he became my friend.
He performed this Knights tour many times each in different ways.
I still have two wind up time clocks. I have the books that he gave me when I won sections of tournaments. They are in descriptive notation. I can actually read them.
Here is a photo of Geo Koltanowski facing the corner, playing eight boards blindfolded. In BrazilĀ 1948.
