Blindfold Chess Podcast

Bonus - Harry Pillsbury v Zangger (1902)


Listen Later

This week, we are looking at another short game from Pillsbury - this time a blindfold game of his. This game is quite the example of quickly a blindfold game can unravel if you lose the position. 

Not much is known about Zangger as this is the only game in the database for him. 

I like this game because it also demonstrates that you can be a legendary player and still screw up games...badly. That is how we get better. We are able to pick ourselves up and keep moving forward.
