I would need a program where I could play against an adjustable chess engine (so I could start at say 500 ELO and work my way up) and where I could turn the board visualization on and off at will. There is the free Blindfold book here for Gold Card members which might interest you, and there is also a free Bindfold testing program on improveyourchess.com.

	Blindfold chess is not that hard in my opinion. I'm playing only 3,5 year now (now 16 years old), I knew how to do it after 2 years or something. I just did my tactics and stuff, Just make excercises at emrald or at chesstempo. And you'll learn it.

	For those interested in this, I am finding http://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-visualization-trainer.php specifically the blindfold chess trainer, very interesting.

	On the advice given by GM Tisdall, I'm going to try to learn to play chess blindfolded. I have some questions: 1) What do you think of blindfold chess as a calculation and visualization improvement drill? 2) What free programs could I use for learning blindfold chess? I would need a program where I could play against an adjustable chess engine (so I could start at say 500 ELO and work my way up) and where I could turn the board visualization on and off at will.
