this is really an aspect of the gm's I cant wrap my head around. How can you play multiple games blindfolded? My head would explode with only try to remember one game, let alone see traps or something like that. This is simply astonishing to see
During a game strong players will look away from the board and visualise variations returning to the current position and following different lines. It is part of the pattern recognition of the frontal cortex. (Susan Polgar did a documentry on how top chess players think, this was in the early 2000s) Very strong players have increadibly strong memory for chess lines and games which they can play through in their head just from reading the game notation. Try visualising this variation scholars mate for example. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6 4 Qxf7# Could you see the starting position on the diagram board, then follow the pieces? Players who learn openings can differentiate the game positions in their mind by recalling the type of game and what has been played since they deviated from the main line. Stong neuron connectivity for the main line and ideas allows temporary memorisation to build from that point onwards for these simul games. Edit notation one number.
A friend of mine and I used to play games with no chess board when we were at parties in college. We'd stand there talking with everyone, drinking (of course), and say our moves to each other. I still remember some of the games. In one of our games first he, and then I missed a mate in two! He was rated 2350 at the time, and once beat Joel Benjamin in a tournament! Benjamin was NOT happy about it, lol.

@@patstaysuckafreeboss8006 REAAAAAAAALLY? Maybe your friend was just too noob at chess. Memorizing a position and keeping track of the game from the start are two very different things.
Why change the screen so many times in this video? Showing full screen of the games and then suddenly showing Giri & the boards in small. Constantly changing is not good. Fix to one layout.
The threat is Qxh7#. There are only three legal moves than Black can play in order to avoid mate next move. The first one is Ne2+ and White answers with Bxe2 and we are back to the same issue. Then Black can play one of the two other legal moves, which are Re8 or Rd8. Then White plays Qxh7+, Kf8 is forced and Qxf7 is mate. So we have the mate in 3: Ne2+ Bxe2 Rd8 (or Re8) Qxh7+ Kf8 Qxf7#.

I don't think Marco's game should have ended, did he resign or did everybody just agree on the mate in 3? because it was mate in 4, the knight check and moving the rook would stretch it for one more turn, that would have given a little more time for those 4 turns and less Anish focus on the other 2 games.
