Number of editions [edit]

A sentence under "chess career" reads ... it went through about 70 editions and was such an advance in chess knowledge that it went through 100 editions .... One of these numbers of editions needs to be deleted, but I don't know which one. Bubba73 (talk), 03:58, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

It has been fixed. Thanks Fred. Bubba73 (talk), 18:19, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Simultaneous blindfold games [edit]

'three simultaneous blindfold games is another matter' - WP itself details that the record for simultaneous blindfold is 34 games, with a number of people having unofficially performed more than that (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blindfold_chess). To suggest that 3 is still remarkable is misleading.Neduardo (talk) 13:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Someone got off on the wrong foot here. --72.70.21.6 (talk) 10:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
It was remarkable in 1783, but still it needs rewording Peter Ballard (talk) 11:25, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
