Like me.Sometimes i play with an IM from my team, i see the board, he is blind,still gets me..i get so pissed, lol
I'd be lost after 5 moves or so. I think it's hard enough to just play a normal OTB game.

If u don t choose theoretical complications, and no time limit, it s easy to pass those initial moves, worse is the middlegame.
what really happens in blind games is that we cannot see what the eyes of the player sees. in blind games we just do not have an oppen-mind.

Thats awesome that you play some blindfold games Smartattack. I am a fan of blindfold chess myself. The first time i played it was in 1998 on a coach-bus on the way to a chess tournament(which i ended up winning!)! I played against a much stronger opponent that me, he was rated around 1900 and at the time i was rated something like 1400-1500. We played 2 games, a game in the colle and one in the budapest. I was white for colle and black for buda. I remember winning one game after my opponent forgot about an attack on a diagonal and the other game i am not too sure, i think it was a draw. I want to play it more often but nobody ever seems willing to play. Anyone i suggest it to they reply 'are you mad?'.
An FM who taught me some years ago put on a great display one night at a chess club i was a member of. He played 3 blindfold games with clocks. His 3 opponents had a board and pieces on front of them too! he won all 3 games.
