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:

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 .
