El gran maestro sueco Axel Smith intentará batir el récord de 49 partidas de ajedrez a ciegas

El gran maestro sueco Axel Smith tiene previsto jugar 49 partidas de ajedrez a ciegas simultáneamente el 7 de mayo en Lund, Suecia. El intento busca batir el récord del gran maestro Timur Gareyev, al tiempo que busca concienciar sobre una campaña climática contra la extracción de turba fósil.

Smith, de 40 años, entrenador y autor de libros de ajedrez como Pump Up Your Rating, llevará a cabo la simultánea durante el torneo de ajedrez TePe Sigeman en su Lund natal, a las afueras de Malmö. Cuenta con poca experiencia previa en el juego a ciegas, tras haber completado 15 partidas en 2011, y se ha preparado probando un sistema de memoria personal basado en imágenes para los tableros, las aperturas y las casillas.
