Silicon Road: Human Games! Chessfest 2025 at Trafalgar Square! A blindfold King's Gambit!

Описание: Chessfest 2025 was once again a huge success: more than 20000 people turned up to play chess on Trafalgar Square! One side-event was a consultation blindfold game where Gawain Jones and I (blindfolded) took on a brave young lady called Polina! It was a King's Gambit and it was pretty spectacular!

I’m grandmaster Matthew Sadler, a 2-times British Champion, and ranked in the world’s top 50 for many years. I’m also a prolific author. My latest book "Re-Engineering the Chess Classics" appeared in May 2023. It uses the techniques described in "The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement" to analyse afresh thirty-five of the most fascinating and complex chess games ever played by World Champions and other top grandmasters.

"Re-Engineering the Chess Classics" is available from here:

"The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement" – which came out in October 2021 is, just like this channel, all about learning from and training with engines. My previous book, the award-winning Game Changer – written together with Natasha Regan – brought the amazing chess games of DeepMind’s AlphaZero to the world.
