If you have to solve the following types of beginner exercises blindfolded, how would you rank their difficulty level (per topic)?

Board vision:
- Sets of light/dark squares
- Mapping out a route from A to B with a given piece without obstacles
- Mapping out a route from A to B with a given piece with obstacles (capturing pieces) or pit-stops

Moving pieces:
- Attacking an enemy piece
- Capturing an enemy piece
- Defending an own piece
- Deliver check safely (one or two obstacles)

Checkmate:
- Inserting one piece on a board with 2 pieces
- Inserting one piece on a board with 3 pieces
- Inserting one piece on a board with 4 pieces
- Inserting one piece on a board with 5 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 1 on a board with 3 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 1 on a board with 4 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 1 on a board with 5 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 1 on a board with 6 pieces
- Inserting two piece on a board with 1 piece
- Inserting two piece on a board with 2 pieces
- Inserting two piece on a board with 3 pieces
- Inserting two piece on a board with 4 pieces
- Inserting three piece on an empty board
- Inserting three piece on a board with 1 pieces
- Inserting three piece on a board with 2 pieces

Tactics:
- Insert double attack
- Deliver double attack
- Insert pin
- Deliver pin
- Delivering checkmate in 2 on a board with 3 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 2 on a board with 4 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 2 on a board with 5 pieces
- Delivering checkmate in 2 on a board with 6 pieces
- Elimination of the defence: capture + material
- Elimination of the defence: away + material
- Discovered attack
- Discovered check

Games:
- Find the best move after 3 ply
- Find the best move after 4 ply
- Find the best move after 5 ply
- Find the best move after 6 ply
- Reconstruct the board position after 10 moves
- Reconstruct the board position after 12 moves

Thank you for all the exercises you suggest, I have already done a large part of them. And it is true that it helps to photograph a chessboard and its position possibilities.
