Blindfold chess is considered effective for improving one's overall chess ability. In particular, it is regarded as an effective training method for strengthening one's middlegame play and enhancing visualization skills.
Indeed, it's not uncommon to see strong players, such as Grandmasters, close their eyes in deep thought during a game or stare into space while calculating variations. At these moments, they are moving pieces not on the physical board in front of them, but on a virtual board within their minds. Regardless of whether they cultivated this ability through blindfold chess, blindfold chess is an effective means to develop such a skill.
However, blindfold chess is highly challenging and involves significant mental strain and a high cognitive load. It would be rare for a player to be able to play blindfold chess without any prior training. This service offers introductory training menus and settings that limit visual aids during games, allowing players to gradually adapt to blindfold chess.
