How Geometry is Fundamental for Chess

When the pig or horse tell me that i am an animal, than i will belive it.

Animals are defined as multicellular eukaryotic organisms
Humans are multicellular eukaryotic organisms
Therefore humans are animals.

Geometry is also apparently good for blindfold chess, which was known at least as early as 1882, and probably sooner.

Fascinating blogpost. The only thing is that I found the description of the experiments quite confusing and didnt really get how they were performed. The second part of the post was quite confusing.

Schaut euch ein Schneckenhaus an , einen Fuchsbau , die Orientierung von Fischen , Korallenriffe und alles was Tiere vermögen.
Das ohne Schach und Geometrie. Der Springer setzt voraus das es Pferde gibt.

Yeah, it's always a mouthful to describe experiments.

I edited the blog to make it clearer and also added some new cool info.

It seems like a discretized version of geometry that applies in the case of chess, though. For example, the board is 8 by 8, not continuous.
