Kibitzer's Corner
Mar-23-07  AAAAron: Koltanowsky played this game, along with 55 others in a blindfold simulation. His skills at blindfold chess are astonishing.

"Of his many exhibitions, one stands out above the rest: in 1937 at Edinburgh Scotland he played 34 games simultaneously without sight of the boards, scoring +24 =10 in thirteen and a half hours, a world record. When his exhibitions were over, as a finale, he would often recite the complete moves of the games without looking at the board." -CG
