Hi, Alan and all.
Marcin Tazbir is the only blind chess grandmaster. His rating has been
around 2525 for a few years now. It goes to show your long-standing
maxim--Yes, blind people can and do play chess--is spot on.
Okay, well off to doing a bit more prep for the Cleveland Open coming
up this weekend. Five rounds of pure and fierce competition OTB style
over the next three days. It's gonna be great. So, bring it on!
