A. Muzychuk – Kosteniuk Blindfold Chess
Hello everyone!
I am now at the Mind Sports Games in China, playing the third event, which is blindfold chess. This is one of the games I played today against Anna Muzychuk. One often wonders how one would play chess blindfold, and actually, as you can see from the game, one can play quite well! In the position below, I was happy to find the winning move (for me, playing black), can you?

Hi,
Most excellent moves! I was following Yelena D in this tournament and saw that you are doing very well.
Also enjoy the color scheme and the ability to interact with the game with so much ease. Thank you for this posting.
