Has anybody ever played blind chess against anybody else, and if so what do you think of it?

I was wondering this myself.  Some people seem to believe it will help their normal chess ability, while others say that playing blind chess will only make you a better blind chess player, and have no effect on your normal game.

I've not tried it myself yet, but am looking forward to giving it a go someday.

Chess without a board I used to play when drunk.  There are, however, Blind players world championships - some real skill there.

I can't do it. I remember trying to play blind in Chessmaster. I would get shredded by personalities with ratings of like 500. Some people can play it, however, and to a very high standard. The Amber tournament just finished, and half the games there were blindfold, and although there were some blunders, the games were still high quality.
