Why Blindfold Chess?

Blindfold Chess is the best way to develop visualization skills in chess.

Strong players can "see" several moves ahead in their minds. This ability is not innate, but a skill acquired through deliberate practice.

Blindfold Chess directly trains the following abilities:

  • Ability to imagine piece positions without looking at the board
  • Ability to calculate variations in your head
  • Ability to recognize patterns and structures

As a result, your overall chess strength will improve.
