Muzychuk A.

Hello everyone!


This is my blindfold game A. Muzychuk – Kosteniuk played on December 15, 2011 at the SportAccord Mind Sports Games in Beijing, China.


The numerical evaluations were created by Houdini 2 Pro from the software Chess King automatically and we added some comments. The “Easy Export to Blog” feature was used to create the dynamic diagram below.


Enjoy!




Muzychuk,A – Kosteniuk,A
