Some guys can play 10 or more games blindfolded. I think the record is over 20.
Now that is mind boggling.

Is that all at the same time? What is the win/loss ratio?

Very Impressive anyway!

That would be good information to know just for the sake of knowing. I have issues playing with both eyes open, still don't see the whole board. At least that is what I have been told by higher rated players, and they have a very good point. I understand what they are saying and believe they are correct.

Google doesn't always give the correct answer. I've posted things in the past before I got off of google and it was incorrect.

Strange they wouldn't give that information.

Perhaps they were not very high rated players.

Still quite impressive to be blindfolded and have an 80% winning ratio.
