Antique chess set from Mr Simon's collection — fine art chess photography by Istvan Maar

After Mr. Simon’s Chess Collection – His Blindfold Chess Mastery

If you read a blog post from the last couple of weeks, you know I took photos of Mr. Simon’s chess collection. His collection features chess boards and pieces from around the world. You’ve seen the products (calendars and artworks), but what makes this collection so special? The person behind the story.

- How the story started

- What motivates him to find the next set to add to the collection

- How he can play chess blindfolded

You can find the answers in the 'Chess without borders' video created by Maleik Njoroge.
