A blindfold chess player has to visualize the total game in his mind. This calls for a high level of mental agility and analytical ability. This form of chess game has been in existence for over one thousand years. There are many exhibition matches where a single blindfold chess player takes on more than one opponent. These are conducted around the world. A blindfold chess player taking nearly a dozen opponents simultaneously is not uncommon. This form of chess can help an upcoming chess player enhance his visualization capabilities and memory.
