Blindfold Chess

I have seen Geo Koltanowski play 30 games of blindfold

chess without a problem. What an impression tha

t did to me. In his book “Travels of a Chess Master” he explained the process he took to learn to play without pieces.

Geo said to both his parents, “Mom, dad, may I place a chess board on the ceiling above my bed?”

“What? Are you going to nail it up?”

“No, I will make a paper one, black and white. I will put it up with tacks. When I take it down there will be no damage.”

He never got permission to put it up. The way he remembered the moves was, every time he made one move, he would repeat all the previous moves. That made it easy to remember them.

I know most of you have a chess hero that you admire and George Koltanowski was mine.

When I was 23 I was able to play a full game without the board or pieces against my co-worker Tim. We had to play like that so we wouldn’t get fired for playing chess while we were working.

We were caught playing with a regular set and warned once before.

We always had a chess board without any pieces on the work bench. Many times we were playing a game but nobody knew it. When one of us made a mistake we would have a discussion as to where the pieces were and we would keep the game going.

I believed that most every one can play a full game when they reach a "B" level. Tim and I learned out of necessity.

We learned using descriptive notation in 1958. Soon they changed to t h e present one t h at is easier.

bro you arent even rated 200 so just because you cant see mate in one most times doesn't mean people who are better than you cant play blindfolded
