Betzalel Goodman Plays Chess Without Seeing The Board-And Wins

Betzalel Goodman ChessVIDEO of Batzalel Goodman of All The Way Towing, playing Chess in front of a large crowd last night in the BMG Sukkah. A brilliant chess player, Betzalel played by just memorizing the layout of the board and sat with his back facing the game, while he had someone move the pieces for him. For example, he would say to move his pawn from 2B to 2C. Betzalel won 5 consecutive games. (Mobile users click here to view video on youtube).

I can cry from joy!!!

If you listen closely, you can hear the music from the Simchas Beis Hashoeiva coming from Yeshiva next door. Betzalel, a true Yid, came to Yeshiva to join the Bnei Torah in the Simcha of Chag Hasukos!!! He expressed that Simcha by entertaining Yidden in the Succah. Mi Ke’amcha Yisroel!!!

Betzalel is a true talmid chacham as well. He was there because he is a former talmud of BMG.
