George Koltanowski - Knights tour . . .
One day in the 1950's I watched Master George Koltanowski performed a blindfold 30 game presentation at the Fairmont Hotel in
San Francisco, California.
I was impressed when he performed the Knights tour. I became a member of his Chess Friends Association and joined his chess club. We became friends.
At that time I was a rookie at chess. I used to play in any tournament that Kolty would run and I would always win my round robin matches. They were groups of four and we played six games against each other three games as black and white.
I got tired of winning and I would receive a book from Kolty as the first prize.
One day I said, "Hey, Kolty you gave me this last tournament. Just let me play the others that won their matches so I know I can beat them also."
In his exhibitions KOLTY loved the Max Lange Attack and Pushed the Colle System Opening. . .
He wrote a book which i have two. . . Adventures of a Chess Master. .
He covers his childhood chess adventures and how he learned blindfold chess, and history about blindfold chess. . . There are games annotated in descriptive notation. With many humorous funny situations of his travels in South America, Central America and the USA. Along with the games he played . . . In many simultaneous exhibitions . . .
I love re reading it and each game has a the actual opening name. It's out of print but i buy them used . . . check out my profile . . . Click on it . . .

The Turk Knights Tour
It was a favorite of George Koltanowski's.
It's fairly easy I've colored it so that you can follow the sequence easier.
Just copy it if you want to.
Start at H8 with Black moving the knight!
Change on D8 to Blue
Change on F8 to Red
Change on D4 to Green
Start with one color on the board.
Eventually with no board.
Good Luck!
This is the Turks tour that Kolty used.
