Event Details

Blindfold chess games will be held Feb. 22 in the Eugene McDermott Library lobby from noon to 2 p.m. UT Dallas chess team Grandmaster Ivan Schitco and International Master Andrei Macovei, who will be blindfolded and will be unable to see the position of the pieces or touch them, will take on any student. The blindfold exhibition demonstrates how top players can “see” the chess board in their minds as they play.

All ChessFest events are free and open to the public.
