Timur Gareyev has set a world record for blindfold chess and the 28-year-old US grandmaster says he is ready to take on 55 games simultaneously

The world record for blindfold chess has been broken by Timur Gareyev, a 28-year-old US grandmaster. He played 48 games simultaneously in Las Vegas in December, scoring 80%, wearing an actual blindfold and taking 23 hours, all the while on an exercise bike on which he rode the equivalent of 50 miles.
