Feature request: Blindfold game mode

I'm trying to work on board visualization and I know I can't be the only one!

It would be really cool to have a game mode where every so often (Maybe after some sort of prompt like a countdown) the pieces on the board dissappear (Maybe for just one turn or a few turns).

Since the last move played is displayed (eg. 1. e4 e5)

I think this would be a really fun way for folks who want to practice their visualization to do that in a setting where you can improve by playing better and better opponents.

Semi-blindfold games where each player sees a position on the board appears after each sequence of 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 moves, would be an interesting option. It would allow to prepare for full blindfold games.
