Dr Jonathan Sarfati is a great chess-player. He has played blindfolded against 12 and won 10 and drawn on 2. He has played and won against Tamas Georgadze. Played against Eduard Gufeld. Has played a sighted simul against 30 and won all thirty.


BTW, this thread is not about origins; I just think Dr Sarfati is cool.

Wow he must be a genious, those credentials sound amazing. All I do is play against random people and I only play for fun, It can not be too much fun having to think so much, that or he must have memoriesed all possible moves. I bet playing blind folded must psych out his opponent.

One against one, or in a group?
