Idea for features to improve visualization & calculation skills

I have two ideas for potential featutes.

The first one is a random position appears with a series of moves written in notation (number of moves can be increased or decreased based on chosen difficulty) then when the player is ready would need to make those moves from memory.

The second is kind of similar. A random position is generated. After a set amount of time(which can be increased or decreased based on difficulty) The player would need to set up the position on a blank board from memory.

Thoughts?

Good idea ! We can also mix the two ideas.

It's a good exercise actually. Helped me a lot with my visualization when I was doing it in the Lucas program. Though it's not a completely random position, it's a mate in two problem starting with a quiet move. So you can try to solve it in your head for even more training, but those are tough usually.
Example:

An option in the menu bar to easily switch between 'blindfold mode' and normal mode could also do an good job to practise visualisation skills.
It should work in any situation like tactic training, games and studys and so on and should be easy to implement, i guess.
Maybe it would work just by creating an 'invisible piece set' and add it to: Menu->Preference->Piece set.

@kettwiesel that’s a good suggestion as well. I have an account just for blindfold.

I just find that when studying from a book I loose my place in my head while reading the notation. When I get stuck I update the board in front of me and begin again reading and visualizing the moves until I get stuck again. This is where this idea came to be. I said to myself, “there’s has to be a way to practice this skill” without also needing to retain chess theory.
