Most Games in Blindfold Exhibitions
Miguel Najdorf played against 45 opponents in a simultaneous blindfold exhibition given at Sao Paulo in 1947, winning 39, losing 2 and drawing 4 games (after a similar display in Rosario, Argentina, in 1943, against 40 players). Later Janos Flesch (52 games) claimed to have broken this record, but his exhibition was not properly monitored and so it was not recognized.

Famous quotes containing the words games and/or blindfold:
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”

Now seldom come I, since I came with him.

Against the west—I miss it! is it gone?”
