Blindfold Chess Trainer
A web app for practicing blindfold chess — visualize the board in your mind, play moves without seeing the pieces, and track your progress.
Overview
Blindfold chess is one of the most impressive mental feats in the game — playing entirely from memory without seeing the board. This app helps players develop that skill progressively, from partial board hiding to full blindfold play.
Features
- Progressive Training — Start with a few hidden pieces and work up to a fully invisible board
- Move Validation — Legal move checking ensures you’re building correct mental models
- Position Puzzles — Given a game state described in notation, reconstruct the board mentally and find the best move
- Progress Tracking — Track your accuracy and improvement over time
How It Works
The app presents chess positions and gradually removes visual information. Players input moves using algebraic notation, and the app validates whether the move is legal on the hidden board. Over time, the training builds the spatial memory needed for full blindfold play.
