Blindfold Training

I found a  bunch of links at http://www.chessforums.org/general-chess-discussion/911-blindfold-chess.html 

I don't know if any of them are good, but it seem like a good place to start.

Good luck to you.  Personally, I still have enough problems when I can actually see the pieces.

Hi, Hammerschlag!

You might have already stumbled upon my chess video lectures ( under this channel: ignore the intro  http://www.youtube.com/user/DraganLalic )

I have started a new chess series...

blindfold chess!

Here is the description:

"  Peter Lalic, a FIDE-rated chess player, works your visualization skills to the max, as he plays Fritz 12 (at 1900 rating, with 7 minutes on the clock). A journey of improvement for both you and him, this series is designed to test the powers of the mind’s eye. That is the same mystical “sixth sense” which is used to calculate variations in all our own over-the-board games. Blindfold (or “mental”) chess forces the human’s mind powers to concentrate on the fundamentals of chess: simply, imagining the pieces to be where they are currently not. This is exactly how one calculates which move to make - by visualizing a position in the future (which must be imagined, for it is not in sight on the board), and assessing the new evaluation of that position reached from the studied continuation.  " 

Although small, the reception has been very positive. 

Here are the videos, which can be accessed via my channel or these links (more will follow later):
