15/10 with black (blindfold)

The game is a loss, but it went pretty well as it was my 2nd blindfold game online ever, 15/10, playing as black. I had great chances to actually win the game, but I blundered badly.. Got enthousiastic when I played an OTB blindofld against a friend while playing a simple playstationgame. The game went not bad, although I forgot about parts of the board, and got mated.

I noticed that in live play I'm tempted to hover the mouse over the board, which makes the pointer change. Imo that is not really blindofld chess. Also seeing a board, albeit a blank one, helps a mile!

I have also played some blindfold chess with timecontrol of 15|10. When it comes to blindfold you might be better than me though. I'm only rated 1279 since I started playing blindfold. Wink

I dont think I am better! This game was relatively easy because I could simplify the game quite quickly. Heck.. even with eyes I barely play better than 1279 :) My guess is that my rating will hoover around 900 if I would play more. Its a fun way of playing, thats for sure!
