Why not ask Franck Zibi, he was eyewitness! More were. We were with 4 persons there. I do not remember 4th person who it was. Anyway, many programmers there heart the story the day after. Note i only played 1 blindfolded game. So i have 100% score blindfolded against chessprograms! I even reproduced the game to show it. It didn't castle so i mated it in the center blindfolded. Don't forget i'm blindfolded rated like 2100 or so, but strategical i have still the same rating, so if i do not blunder then i win easily. Some players are way stronger than 2100 blindfolded it is no big deal. One day Judith Polgar was blindfolded as strong as her rating. Now her FIDE is 2690 or so, so i doubt she's rated that blindfolded, but it still will be 2500+ blindfolded for sure. > Knowing Vincent I have little Doubt he would say not Only yes, but he would >claim to beat it everytime without a Loss!!!
