Xiangzhi Bu won the World Chess Blindfold Cup that took place from October 16th to 20th, 2007, in the Hotel Sheraton Bilbao. He won the matches against each of his opponents and left no question who the Chess Blindfold king is. Bu won a total of 21 points and left far behind him Sergei Karjakin 17, Magnus Carlsen 16, Judith Polgar 12, Veselin Topalov 9, and Pentala Harikrishna 6.
The World Blindfold Chess Cup was played according to a new pointing system. The players were awarded 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a lost game. According to the conventional system, Karjakin (+5 =2 -3) and Carlsen (+4 =4 -2) should be with the same points, but the new one puts Karjakin a point ahead.
