The loop
Every puzzle trains the same muscle — holding a position in your head and calculating without looking.
You get a few seconds to lock the pieces into memory — where every king, knight and rook sits.
The pieces disappear. You're left with an empty board and the position living only in your head.
Play the winning line blind. Stuck? A Hint shows where, and Coach asks the questions that get you there.
What's inside
From your very first day to grandmaster-level positions, sorted by difficulty.
Master each piece in turn — Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, Queen, King — one phase at a time.
A nudge when you need it: Hint shows the square, Coach guides your thinking without spoiling the answer.
One fresh position a day. Keep the streak alive and watch your collection grow.
Pick a level and a study time — your rules, your pace, as many reps as you want.

Questions & answers
Blindfold chess means playing without seeing the pieces — you hold the entire position in your head and calculate from memory. It's a classic training method used by strong players to sharpen visualization and board sight. ChessBlind turns it into short, guided puzzles anyone can practice.
ChessBlind is built around one thing done well: solving real positions from memory. You get 200+ puzzles sorted from beginner to grandmaster, a piece-by-piece campaign, and two levels of help — Hint shows you where to look, Coach asks the questions that guide your thinking without spoiling the answer. No account, no ads, no clutter.
Every puzzle runs the same loop. First you study the position for a few seconds and memorize where the pieces sit. Then the board goes blank. Finally you solve from memory on the empty board, playing the winning line blind. If you get stuck, tap Hint or Coach for a nudge.
Regular blindfold practice strengthens board visualization, calculation, and memory — the same skills that help you see combinations and plan ahead in your own games. Because ChessBlind uses short puzzles, you can build the habit in a few minutes a day and track your progress with streaks.
Yes. Puzzles start easy and scale up gradually, and the campaign introduces one piece at a time so you're never overwhelmed. Beginners can lean on Hint and Coach as much as they like — the goal is to build board sight at your own pace.
Visualization is one of the most transferable chess skills, and blindfold work is a direct way to train it. By forcing you to picture the board and calculate without looking, it improves how far and how clearly you can see ahead in normal games too.
ChessBlind is free to play with no sign-up required. There's no login, no ads, and no personal data collected — your progress lives on your device. See our privacy policy for details.
Hint points you to the right square — it shows you where to focus, not the move itself. Coach goes a step further and asks guiding questions that lead you to the idea, so you still do the thinking and learn the pattern.
