The article says there are blindfold tournaments throughout the year. I have never heard of any except for Amber, which is only partly blindfold. Can anyone provide more information? Nameme 14:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Why does the see also section list the world chess championship? There is no information relation to blindfold chess at that article. Nameme 15:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I took out the reference to the world chess championship. It clearly has no direct relevance to this article. I also removed the names of four players listed in the "see also" section - these were redundant, since they are already mentioned in the main body of the article. Dsreyn 00:46, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


Is it OK to add a link to my mnemonics memory techniques article on blindfold chess? I will put it on since I have waited a few days for a response. Sorry if it is not suitable. www.NakedScience.com : http://www.nakedscience.com/memory/blindfold%20chess.htm

[edit] question

Interesting article, but one claim left me wondering... "blindfold exhibitions were officially banned in 1930 in the USSR as they were deemed to be a health hazard" Why was it a health hazard? The crowds that assembled to watch it? Article should explain that, if anyone knows. --W.marsh 17:57, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
