There would be no real way to enforce it though.
At Amber the players are both there in person and can be watched, but what is to stop online players from simply setting up real boards beside their computers and following along?
Blindfold chess
Sort:
Who cares? Its similar to when people first started using comps in corr. chess. There was no way to monitor it but rather than dismantling corr. chess, they just allowed it eventually.
...I would much rather give someone the advantage of sight (of a board) than the use of a prog. If people want to cheat in that way then let them, their only robbing their own improvement

So then instead of forcing the site to create a whole new, un-monitorable mode, why don't you just tape a piece of paper over the screen board and read off nothing but the moves? Or just get somebody else to read the moves to you while you don't look.
oh im not forcing anything, it was just a humble suggestion to chess.com;-) as for your suggestions:
1)If there is a piece of paper over my board, how do I move the pieces?
2)I couldnt even pay my friends to do a boring task like that haha
I'm not trying to be an a** though, I appreciate that ur trying to help
Is there any site that has blindfold play similar to that of what ths super-GMs are using at Amber?
p.s hey chess.com staff, I have an idea to spice up your site=> (add blindfold chess to live [or possibly even corr.] chess)
