"Magnus Carlsen's Mind-Blowing Memory!" | David Howell

 

Being Lazy. But at least on the matter of Chess.

And the phenomenal memory of Magnus Carlson. Tested by Grand Master David Howell. 

In the comments there's this story:

Magnus once played ten lawyers at Harvard simultaneously, blindfolded.
After the match he was talking to one of the attorneys, who said he regretted not taking notes of the moves, now being unable to show his game to his friends at the Bar and the library. Magnus then proceeded to tell the guy all the moves that were made in their game...

Pretty soon we'll get back to our own pretty Samurai Chess Set. After all, what I'm doing here is just me and the Preen's Gambit...  

And Happy Halloween. (does one say that??...).
