At this year’s 20th Annual Sohn Investment Conference in New York, Magnus Carlsen, the world’s #1 ranked chess player, accomplished an unbelievable feat never attempted by anyone before: defeating three challengers simultaneously in a timed chess match while blindfolded – all in front of a live audience of 2,700.
While in NYC for the Play Live Challenge & Chess Works, Magnus did a timed, blind simul in front of thousands of people. There was no order, and Magnus had 1/3 of the time. Watch and see how it all went down.
