::"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]])

:If you're talking about [[:File:Sarfati chess.jpg|this image]], it could easily be a press or promotional photo. Why would someone take a photo like that, especially from that angle, in the middle of an actual chess game? --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 17:01, 5 May 2017 (EDT)

::I was a very good chess player even though I was merely an infrequent player of chess. For example, I won about half of the chess games against my relative who was the chess champion of his school. At Yahoo chess, I believe my highest ranking was 2200 which is ranking of FIDE Candidate Masters (CM), most national masters.
::The picture is obviously meant to be a promotional picture as there is no opposing player featured. To call him a fraud based on this picture is unreasonable given the other data we have at our disposal such as this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giWMWsyDHjw Jonathan Sarfati playing 12 people simultaneously].
