Arnold Schwarzenegger is a big fan at chess. Here we see him playing a game against former world champion Garry Kasparov. They share a frag ment of one of his speeches: " the chess is a game that requires skill, planning, strategy, determination and courage... It's the secret to teach the children confidence in themselves, show them hope and give them a place for the success we have never met before "

Blindfold chess is real and documented in world records. It is as it sounds: a player makes all of his or her moves without looking at a board. Usually there is a “middle man” of sorts to give and receive moves for the game. The record was set in 1960 in Budapest by Hungarian Janos Flesch, who played 52 opponents simultaneously while blindfolded – he won 31 of those games.
