Blindfold Chess
How does one train for blindfold chess without a second party moving the pieces? Perhaps voice recognition software would be a step in the right direction, but so far, "Move Bravo 3, Capture Charlie Four" doesn't sound very appealing, unless you have lost the use of your limbs and that was your only means of playing computer chess.
The ability to visualize and track multiple positions without the benefit of the chessboard and pieces must be the product of tens of thousands of games and incredible mental discipline. I think the ability can be developed---one just isn't born with it. As with any skill, it's 10% talent and 90% hard work.

Hello! We seem to have a couple of things in common - chess & Celtic music. Check out my blog as well: seolta.blogspot.com. The best way to learn blindfold chess is using the "stepping stone" technique as described by Jonathan Tisdall in his book "Improve Your Chess Now". If you don't have the book, e-mail me and I'll provide more info on the technique. Cheers!
