| Mar 6, 2013 at 12:53 | comment | added | Johno | @thesunneversets Oh, Alan Moore! I don't think there's any real link whatsoever between the two Moriartys (beyond inspiration I suppose), but Alan Moore's LXG does love to link as many fictional universes as possible. | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 12:06 | comment | added | thesunneversets | @Johno According to Wikipedia, in Alan Moore's comic League of Extraordinary Gentlemen it is suggested that Dean is Prof Moriarty's great-grandson, but as far as I know a link between the two characters hasn't been suggested anywhere else... | |
| Mar 6, 2013 at 8:10 | comment | added | markovchain | Is it really? Hmm. That's embarrassing haha. I could have sworn I heard or read Dean somewhere though, before ever knowing about On the Road. Strange. | |

| Mar 6, 2013 at 1:54 | comment | added | markovchain | @thesunneversets, Yes it does. But, this Dean Moriarty is a professor and genius, and quite beardy. This Dean is not anything like the Dean from On the Road. | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 22:19 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica | People are able to do this, not necessarily because they're super geniuses, but because they have so much chess experience, that they have a more developed mental model about how the game is played and how it works. | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 22:16 | comment | added | Sam I am says Reinstate Monica | not only is it plausable, but it's actually somewhat ordinary | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 20:25 | comment | added | thesunneversets | Just one question, I haven't seen Game of Shadows, but does it really involve a "Dean" Moriarty? As in, the guy from Kerouac's "On The Road"? | |
| Mar 5, 2013 at 20:22 | comment | added | Joe Z. | I've heard of people playing mental chess before, which is even harder than simply a mutual blindfold match because there isn't even an actual board to act as a reference in case somebody get something wrong. | |
