BLINDFOLD CHESS: Any books on the subject other than about famous people who could do it well?  I'd like to learn the skills but cannot find anything in the public library.

I did some research on the internet and came up with:

1. Some info on how to approach this technique:

2. And a book, reviews that I read praise this book:

a. A review of the book:

http://www.ukgamesshop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=chnew557&Category_Code=

2. Buy the book at Amazon.com in USA:

Not cheap at $52 US, but if you buy from UK you will pay $70 Us plus shipping charges more expensive than buying local. 

3. Some articles published about blind fold chess:

The next article you can read all of it or go 3 pages down for specific info on blindchess, very informative :

4. Some history on blindfolded games played since 1265:

5. An 1894 online book that ties blindfolded chess to arithmetic;

6. A 2003 online book with good info, also in PDF format:

http://www.brunel.ac.uk/3518/PDF//CampGob-blindfold_revised_5.pdf

7. Free downloads for training, I have downloaded and the checked for viruses and extracted the files and found no problems at all, they are both safe and good .

a. Chessblindfold trainer:

b. Chess trainer:

I hope this info will be useful. Pleas do let us know after you review.
