Sites for Blindfold Chess??

Corrspondence, that is... would like to start out slow! Any leads?? Seems to be the one basic variant that schemingmind.com is lacking.

Shouldn't really advertise another site, but I think www.itsyourturn.com has all sorts of chess variants - suicide chess, blindfold etc etc

You'd have to be very trusting to play blindfold correspondence chess.

Indeed... but the point would to be able to practice visualization w/o hurrying. Of course you'd be able to see the movelist... and I suppose a person could easily cheat, but if the point is to gain experience it really doesn't matter.

I'd hate to have to strain my mind visualizing a board and pieces for thirty moves only to find out my opponent was a six year old watching a cardboard set all the time.

Use Fritz...and just sit there...I am getting pretty good.

having the move list is not allowed during blindfold i think...i'm not sure how good fritz is with blindfold but chessmaster10000 lets you play blinfold and you can hear the move played. its say 1.e4 blah blah....

Yes... but the rules are modified a smidge to account for the "correspondence" aspect. I don't think I'd want to have more than one of these going at a time, however.
