  It's a very simple interface where you can play against an engine at different difficulty level by just keying in the moves in algebraic notation and see the board as and when you want.

Answers.Text: hi @UNeverNo, thanks for the feedback. Recently I have migrated the backend engine to stockfish so can you try now? Levels are available from 1 to 10 now however on mobiles or low powered devices above level 4 will still be difficult to play though I am able to play till level 7-8 without much issues on my low end desktop. Thanks again for the feedback! Hope you like it now.

Answers.Text: Now it plays different lines  Would be nice to have different blindfold-levels ;-) Maybe more complicated positions if you increase the level and more basic if you chose lower levels. Don't know if stockfish supports anything like this though. Or something like automatically showing the board after x moves.

  Chess24.com allows you to play blindfold in a different way by just hiding the pieces.
  
  When you want to move you drag an invisible piece in the normal way. When your opponent moves you see a line on the board connecting the starting and ending squares of the move.

  This is a bit late but in case you are still looking, we've been working on our [blindfold chess website](https://username_5/about) for the past few months and just released our beta. The [main game](https://username_5) is exactly what you describe: you can play by entering PGN moves while viewing the score sheet. The board is hidden and you can choose after how many moves you will be able to view the board.
  
  We're building the entire website to help with blindfold chess. We have [mini games](https://username_5/minigames) to help learn PGN, a [memory trainer](https://username_5/vision), a [tactics trainer](https://username_5/tactics) that forces you to think of all the moves (you and your opponent's) in your head, and the main game, which is just classical chess.
  
  Let us know if you have any feedback! Hope this helps you :)
