Yesterday I put my queen on b3 and my opponent took it with his Bishop.
I resigned.
Blindfold chess is the least of my problems 😔
It appears that you're playing blindfold chess.....but with no blindfold.
😀

No, but I have played against someone who was playing 'blindfolded.' In 1972, a buddy and I drove across the USA from CA to NJ to take part in the US Open, held in Atlantic City that year. We picked up John Watson along the way. John sat in front (next to the driver, not a chess player), my buddy and I in back, and John played us games simultaneously, he not seeing the boards we had on our laps. He had white and gave us knight odds. I was too engrossed in the games to think to ask him how he was doing it, either by visualising the boards or by some sort of abstract coordinate-equations. Both seem possible, since computer programs certainly do not 'visualise' board positions.

No. I was too busy getting thrashed. But the board was on my lap, below the seat back. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t have seen it in the mirror from the front seat.

Играть вслепую ,то бишь передвигать фигуры это очень просто.Самое сложное заключается в выигрыше.Выиграть очень сложно,если игрок сильнее тебя)))
I don't think it's simple at all.The most difficult thing is visualising the position of the pieces on the board.Most people I suspect would lose the position after a few moves.
