| Apr-17-19 | | sfm: <MissScarlett: The Punch Back of Notre Dame> Brilliant! |
|
| Apr-17-19 | | ChessHigherCat: Black followed the right strategy for a blindfold simul of maintaining maximum complexity. and maybe it's even an advantage to have 2 knights since their moves are harder to calculate than bishops. I wonder how many boards there were and how much time Alekhine had per move? |

 | | perfidious: <sergeidave: Was (Alekhine) blindfolded?> If you visit this page again, see the photograph posted by <Stonehenge>: I have done blindfold simuls too (a lot fewer opponents, though!) and it was the same: I faced away from my opponents and a runner relayed the moves to each player in turn. |

 | | moronovich: According to Yasser Seirawan it is a sign
of a rather deep understanding of the game,when one is able to play (decent) blindfold. |
|

 | | FSR: I guess it's hard even for Alekhine to play 28 blindfold games at once. |
|
| Apr-16-20 | | aliejin: Analyze a blind chess game
, even a single game, with the usual standards
.. is a stupid behavior
Imagine 28 at a time!
I personally think that to play
against so many opponents at once blindly
a master has to be very brave...
for the risks of ridicule and above all
the health risks |

| Apr-16-20 | | stoy: Some previous commentators refer to Dr. Alekhine as world champion here in 1925. He became champion after defeating Capablanca in Buenos Aires in 1927. |

|
| Apr-16-20 | | ajile: Black just kept threatening stuff and White reacted. Until he couldn't react anymore. |
|
| Apr-16-20 | | WorstPlayerEver: Maybe it's me, but I only see 26 players. |
|

 | | al wazir: The pun isn't not quite as good the second time. |
|

| | OhioChessFan: It's the old one-two. |
|
| Apr-17-20 | | WorstPlayerEver: PS Boards, that is. |
|
Apr-17-20
 | | MissScarlett: Search for Alekhine and 1925 - 28 games are present. What are you doing wrong? |
|
Apr-17-20
 | | Sally Simpson: W.P.E. is looking at the picture of the event. https://geheugen.delpher.nl/nl/gehe... I count only 26 boards as well. Two boards are obviously not in the shot. |

| | MissScarlett: We must do the French the credit of believing they could correctly count that high. If you expand the photo it does appear that the tables on the near left are numbered 27 and 28. But something else caught my eye: <Using a system similar to the one he employed in New York, Alekhine announced that he was dividing the players into six groups. On the first seven boards he played 1.e4, on the next six 1.d4 and on the 14th board 1.f4. The same pattern was repeated for the last 14 boards.> Alekhine vs Ecole Polytechnique Paris, 1925 (kibitz #22) This is mistaken because on board 14 (as given by S&V), he played 1.c4. Alekhine vs Cercle de la Rive Gauche, 1925 |

| | Sally Simpson: On the top right of the picture we see a man leaning to get into the picture. His chair appears to be facing away from the main arena. I'm thinking he is a player and there are two boards off to the right not in the picture. |
|
| Apr-17-20 | | WorstPlayerEver: <Sally Simpson> Maybe, but if I zoom in the site loads a Alekhine vs Euwe picture. Oh well, it's a Dutch site, one can't expect too much of it. |
|
| Apr-17-20 | | RandomVisitor: White "must have been blind" to have missed 30.Bc5 and 31.Rb2. |
