IMO you're mixing up cause and effect.
If you purchase a tiger, then you are a pet owner.
But select a random pet owner on the street, and it's extremely unlikely they own a tiger.
If you're a GM, then you can play blindfold chess.
But if you train blindfold chess it's probably completely useless in terms of becoming a GM.
Not really. Many GMs were able to solve endgame puzzles blindfolded at 10-12 years like Nihal Sarin
Let me try again...
A consequence of being super-rich is being able to afford an expensive car.
Buying an expensive car doesn't make you super rich.
A consequence of being a GM is being able to play blindfold chess...
Then how did GMs be able to play blindfold way BEFORE they became one?
Blindfold chess is something many, many, many many, non-GMs can do...
What is your question?
You were just saying that you can only play blind chess after becoming a GM. Now you’re saying many non GMs can. I don’t understand what you mean
If you make the troll too obvious it's no fun for anyone.
Me trolling? Are you serious? I’m disgusted by trolls on this forums, what makes you think I would troll? I just didn’t read what you said properly but now I know what you meant by the consequences of becoming a GM. I shouldn’t have been argumentative like that, I agree

Will the chapter in the book give me advice on how to train to see the board more clearly instead of seeing parts of it? I try to visualize games but after a few moves I can’t see everything on the board. In any opening I can’t see the black bishop on c8 or f8 or the rooks
I don't know. I don't have that book
Oh, ok. But what do you suggest I do if I’m not able to see the distance between squares which are far away from each other? (Not being able to see how many squares away f6 is from a1 etc.)
