<div>I've seen pictures of people doing this before I met xkcd, and I just read the confirmation at knowyourmeme.com that Randall started this. This is friggin' amazing.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.235|108.162.210.235]] 15:07, 17 November 2013 (UTC)<br />

The last sentence has always been upsetting me and never found the time to comment/correct: Blindfold chess doesn't require any actual blindfold, it's just called that way because the two players don't need a board and just communicate their moves. Therefore, the "blindfold" is not redundant, it is rather the simplest way to play chess on a roller coaster. --[[46.5.2.144]] 22:07, 16 August 2014 (UTC)<br />
