Blindfold chess

This is an app to train you in playing blindfold. Think of it as stockfish without the board. You see all possible moves and click on a move to make it.

The app is optimized for mobile play and aims to be as simple as possible. You should just be able to click to play.

Features

  • Show the board if you can't fully remember the position
  • Change the stockfish difficulty
  • Provide different display options for possible moves. For instance, don't show whether a move is taking a piece, which makes the game harder.

Todo

  • Rewind moves by clicking on the list of moves
  • Show board with only pawn structure
  • Ask questions about position (e.g. what are the fields for the white pawns?)
  • Store results so you can find out whether you are improving

Help

I'm always greateful for collaborators!

Compiling the code

To compile the app, you need to run the setup.sh script. The main task of the script is to download compiled code for Stockfish.js.
