When vision triumphs over sight | Jovan Jovancevic | TEDxNYUAD

Training your eyes to see a chessboard that isn’t there and move the game's 32 pieces across that very same 64-square matrix; that is the game of blindfold chess. It is a unique challenge that shows what remarkable potential our brains have, a form of training in which everyone can and should engage, regardless of interest in chess. Allow Jovan to patiently guide you through this game, showing you the many ways in which you can benefit from it on a daily basis. At the age of 5, Jovan became the youngest competitor at the Montenegro National Youth Chess Competition. But simply playing chess was not enough; he had to do it blindfolded. He will be talking about his journey thereafter. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
