I'd imagine that playing blindfolded would be the biggest handicap there is. (more than sighted simultaneous, or very small odds or small clock odds).

He seems to have all the skills of chess history, and does all the right things in all positions and time controls, automatically. A few years ago it had seemed that kasparov was the greatest in history, however, he may have had slightly lower perfection (slightly impulsive? lucky with mistakes?) as...
