Looks like he finished with 38.5 out of 54. While riding an exercise bike!
Blindfold simul results?

First category players were scoring against him.
Still an incredible accomplishment!

I'm still not sure how many he played. 53? 46? 48? He finished with 38.5 against some unknown number.
check youtube, they show results as 35W 6L 7D
No report in the chess news; must not have made the record; impressive enough by any standards one would think.

He scored 38,5 out of 48. That's 80.2%. He made it.
An absolutey amazing performance 
I find it utterly incredible that someone can win a SINGLE game of chess against a good player while blindfolded. That he could even compete realistically in so many games, let alone win the great majority of them, I find gobsmacking. Kudos to this guy, his powers of memory and visualisation must be phenomenal. Unless there's something I'm missing?
Anybody know any outcome for the blindfold simul, with Timur Gareev (Garayev also comes up in some searches)? (Saturday Dec. 3 is when it started.)
It was on Chess.com TV. It looked like his competition was tougher than expected, so he may not have gotten the 80% or 75% desired. That is understandable to me since blindfold chess is extremely difficult to do. The crowd may not have been extremely friendly in a way.
I don't find any video of it that I can play back.
Thanks for the info!
