Hello.

Please, add a "figure-set", where all figures are shown as "checkers", to play half-blind-fold games.

Its clearly related to chess and also it is a suggestion.

I don't think so

or it can be a variant.

we know that there is a piece (that's not the king) there, but we don't know exactly which piece it is unless we play it like blindfold

or half-blindfold as the OP says.

It would be easy to get around this as you can just get out a chessboard and see where each piece comes from to see what it is

You could only really do this with chess 960

i mean blindfold can have that same cheat

it's simply a violation of fair play rules and if someone is suspicious, they get reported.

Stop repeating the same message; it's redundant.

ok but still think that this is boring

Avatar of FFormula

It is a good excercise, full blind-fold is too hard for beginners, this is an half-way variant, and it is very simple to realize, just add new pieces-set.

Players knowing the start position of their opponent's pieces could be prevented by having a doubly random start position.

That still wouldn't prevent someone from having a chessboard set up and replacing a checker/draughtsman with the appropriate piece as soon as they discovered what it was. though. sad.png

lichess implemented the piece set.
