How can one play chess with just the pieces—no board...saw video on Twitter with Nakamura. Too much or not?

If someone will copy and post that from a computer it will link.

It won’t link from my phone.

It’s video of the game described by the OP. Hikaru is quoting me in the tweet and if you scroll down you’ll see a pic of the game the quote is about.

For top players they never seem to have all the gear they need 😊

You know you’re too much into chess when you can play without a board and just the pieces...whew!

Not to mention at least a little bit crazy 😊

That's only a little crazy.  Full crazy is 2 chess players walking down the street talking through a game that's kept only in their heads!  OK it probably only happens with GMs and their prodigies, but that's serious training.

You see, Ivan, if enemy not knowing of which square to put piece, they cannot beat you in chess.

I play chess in real life so I can’t play chess without the board
