Suggestion: allow us to play puzzles blindfolded

Can you please allow us to practice puzzles blindfolded ?

all you need to add is a list of pieces and their current position in text form.

there are android apps for this, but lichess have the advantage of puzzles going easier or harder depending on how well you are doing, but those apps have fixed strength level that keeps getting harder.

example of showing current position in text:

------
white to move:
white:
R: b1
K: h6
Black
K; h8

solution:
Rh8#
------

there are obviously other text format that may work, it doesn't have to be like the above.

there are more pictures example:

This is a great idea, I'd use it a lot as long as it had a separate rating.

In a browser I already made this possible...?

But it doesn't tell you the position, only the moves, so the difficulty (but not the rating) of a puzzle correlates with its move number. It's actually harder to keep track of the position than when you're playing blindfolded, since they're not your moves.

Oh... hm. I wonder if the "blind" interface (which I forget how to activate) has the sort of information you're talking about.

All the way at the bottom: Blindfold chess (invisible pieces)

Without a separate rating though, is it still a useful tool?

A have a question to all who replied to this topic so far.

I have never tried to play blindfold. Therefore I have no idea whether it would be helpful for me to improve my visualization and calculation skills.

Could someone please describe his/her experiences with "blindfold chess".

I am pretty sure there is already a topic about this issue somewhere. Post a link if you have one.

I didn't watch the video, but everybody I know OTB that is at least 200 points higher than me includes blindfold training and says it helps.
