During a game strong players will look away from the board and visualise variations returning to the current position and following different lines. It is part of the pattern recognition of the frontal cortex. (Susan Polgar did a documentry on how top chess players think, this was in the early 2000s) Very strong players have increadibly strong memory for chess lines and games which they can play through in their head just from reading the game notation. Try visualising this variation scholars mate for example. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nf6 4 Qxf7# Could you see the starting position on the diagram board, then follow the pieces? Players who learn openings can differentiate the game positions in their mind by recalling the type of game and what has been played since they deviated from the main line. Stong neuron connectivity for the main line and ideas allows temporary memorisation to build from that point onwards for these simul games. Edit notation one number.
As far as i know from a clip of Mikhail Tal doing a blindfold simul, he doesn't try to remember each board fully because it would be kinda imposibble, it's more like trying to remember the key things on each board
f6? For a GM, blind or not, it's nothing and for a Club Player easy to find. In tactics books this would be in the category "beginners". I just wonder how helpless those victims were to the standard mating attack Qd2, 0-0-0, Bh6, Ng5 / h4-h5, xg6 - mate. I believe, opponents who had never played chess before and just learned the rules right before the game, would have offered more resistance for they would have played more abnormal.

Great job by the participants, but the production is terrible, every few seconds you see a flashing logo of the sponsor, which is very annoying and distracting. You could just keep the chess boards on the screen and in the corner have a video of the players.
Why change the screen so many times in this video? Showing full screen of the games and then suddenly showing Giri & the boards in small. Constantly changing is not good. Fix to one layout.
The threat is Qxh7#. There are only three legal moves than Black can play in order to avoid mate next move. The first one is Ne2+ and White answers with Bxe2 and we are back to the same issue. Then Black can play one of the two other legal moves, which are Re8 or Rd8. Then White plays Qxh7+, Kf8 is forced and Qxf7 is mate. So we have the mate in 3: Ne2+ Bxe2 Rd8 (or Re8) Qxh7+ Kf8 Qxf7#.

I don't think Marco's game should have ended, did he resign or did everybody just agree on the mate in 3? because it was mate in 4, the knight check and moving the rook would stretch it for one more turn, that would have given a little more time for those 4 turns and less Anish focus on the other 2 games.
