Chess without the sight of a board or a set usually arouses wonderment among observers. But blindfold cheu which is not to be conftised with cheu played by the blind with special sets and boards is a common phenomenon among strong players.

There are recorded Instances of blindfold shatranj an early form of chess by Arab experts as early the 8th century. The earliest exhibition of blindfold play in Europe took place in Florence in 1268. A Sicilian named Bucezza played two blindfold games at once. But this event wu largely forgotten. Almost five centuries later (1749), Francois Andre Philidor, a brilliant cheu theorist and a leading court musician and composer, created a sensation through Europe when he played two blindfold games simultaneously in Paris.

A rarely questioned mystique surrounded blindfold play until the early 20th century, when it was debunked by a Soviet study, based on interviews of blindfold cheu specialists. Skills at blindfold cheu were found to be the result of special training and not dissimilar to abilities displayed by experts in other fields. My own gueu is that playing blindfold Is an enlargement and refinement of skills shown by most competitive players. Any-: one who analyzes a cheu posi-: tion without moving the pieces is, in a primitive sense, playing blindfold cheu. There are numerous claims that blindfold exhibitions of ex-: cessive length can be mentally 1 and physically Injurious, al-though common experience shows that a few games at a time are harmless.

The French philosopher Diderot urged Philidor in a 1782 letter to desist from blindfold chess. It is foolish to run the risk of going mad for vanity's sake, he wrote.
