Is this man a fraud? I ask because if you study the chess game he is apparently playing you will see the position of the pieces is very unlikely and perhaps impossible.--[[User:MarkusR|MarkusR]] ([[User talk:MarkusR|talk]]) 12:19, 5 May 2017 (EDT)

:The picture is pretty small, and I can't tell if is a real position - I can't even tell where the bishops are, to make sure they're on different colors. Either way, the lack of another player makes it seem like he just set pieces on the board however for a press photo, which doesn't make him a fraud.--[[User:Abcqwe|Abcqwe]] ([[User talk:Abcqwe|talk]]) 12:25, 5 May 2017 (EDT)

::"Dr Sarfati is also a keen chess player. He is a former New Zealand Chess Champion, and represented New Zealand in three Chess Olympiads, and drew with Boris Spassky, world champion 1969–1972, in a tournament game (those interested in the game score can see [http://creation.com/redirect.php?http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1129514 this chess site]). In 1988, F.I.D.E., the International Chess Federation, awarded him the title of F.I.D.E. Master (FM). Dr Sarfati regularly accepts challenges from multiple players where he plays ‘blindfold’, i.e. from memory without sight or any physical contact with the board, so moves are communicated via a recognized chess notation (See an example at the Croydon Chess Club). Twelve is the most played simultaneously to date—see photo, above right."[http://creation.com/dr-jonathan-d-sarfati] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]])
