A few days ago, GMHikaru and I played some blindfold chess against subscribers. A separate video will come out where play Blindfold Fischer Random. If you want to play against me or Hikaru, gotta be a subscriber.

Oh man, title and thumbnail 10/10. I watched this stream, it was epic. Of all the chess streams I have watched in the past 5 months the concept of this stream was most interesting. Fisher 960 blindfolded was super fun. You should do this again after a few months. I have an idea for you, get Hikaru and Anish giri to play Fischer 960 blindfolded with you moderating the moves.
