| | jmuller: >> Kenkaku: Wow, talk about an attack, and played blindfold too. In a *simultaneous* blindfold exhibition, according to Renaud and Kahn in *The Art of the Checkmate*. It's more than I can imagine! |

| Jul-29-08 | | vijaymathslpjz: 9....g6 would have cost black queen |
|
| Jul-30-08 | | blackburne: This is a blindfold game in a simoltaneous. |
|
| Oct-12-08 | | newzild: This is a pretty game, although the sacrifices aren't too difficult for those of us who try to solve the Friday/Saturday/Sunday puzzles on this website. However, the fact that Blackburne was blindfolded makes this much more impressive. |
|
| Oct-12-08 | | MarkusKann: Just Amazing |
|
| Oct-12-08 | | Xeroxx: The notes are awesome |
|
| Oct-12-08 | | cyclon: Astonishing BLIND-play by Blackburne! Pb4+! to block b4-square by black piece. I did n`t find ( at least immediately ) Bb6+!. |

I can just imagine doing the Sunday puzzle blindfold: you get one look at the position and then you have to close your eyes :) |

| Oct-12-08 | | panzerkampf: this opening is always very dangerous against beginners |
|
| Oct-12-08 | | ThePawnOTron2: Ouch... 6...Ne5?? loses a pawn for nothing! Going in the opening blunders collection, although I wouldn't call it that instructive... :-) --ThePawnOTron2 |

| Oct-12-08 | | ForeverYoung: Magnificent play by "the Black Death". Truly awesome the rook sacrifices on moves 16 and 17!!! |
|

 | | kevin86: I heard a long time ago that Blackburne announced and executed a mate in SEVENTEEN moves while blindfold. |
|

| | whiteshark: I always mix 17 with 70. |
|
| Dec-21-08 | | WhiteRook48: NN: Hmm why do I always lose |
|
| Jan-09-09 | | Crocomule: Julian Hodgson gives this as Plaskett-Tarsh Bath '84 in his Chess Travellers Quiz Book!? |
|
| Jan-14-09 | | WhiteRook48: NN gets burned... and Blackburne's white. |
|
| Mar-12-10 | | morphyesque: White's 22nd & 23rd moves are particularly impressive like using a problem-like blocking theme.According to Chernev in his book "The 1000 Best Short Games of Chess"(1954), this was one of 10 blindfold games conducted simultaneously at Kidderminster, Worcestershire, England in 1863. If there are any British readers who are as old as me (born 1946), you may remember a series of animated films originally shown in the late 50s on tv by the BBC (then later in the early 60s by ITV) entitled "Chess Miniatures".This was a series of 39 games from the aforementioned book devised by one Horace Shepherd and photographed by Harry Long.In the films the pieces appeared to move by themselves and this game was entitled "Touch and Go" |

|
| Mar-19-11 | | TheTamale: In a perfect world, Blackburne should have added insult to injury by NOT announcing mate. At game's end, NN would only have noticed that he lost a rook. Then, as NN vainly checked for legal moves, Blackburne could have uncorked some devastating sarcastic comment that would have completely consumed NN's faltering soul. Then NN would have left in tears, announcing in a subsequent press conference that they "wouldn't have old NN to kick around anymore." But he WOULD get kicked around some more... for over a hundred years more, in fact. |
