Amber Blindfold and Rapid Tournament - 2010 Teaser

The annual Amber Blindfold and Rapid tournament starts on Saturday, March 13th. We take a brief look back at 2009, with some of the favorites, including returning Amber champion Levon Aronian, world number one Magnus Carlsen, and former World Champion Vladimir Kramnik. Living legend Vlastimil Hort narrates at the close of last year's event.

The Amber tournament is unique on the chess calendar, as the world's best compete at ten rounds of both blindfold chess and conventional rapid chess.
