I agree
I found this as well
I played a perfect game in blindfold against a 1000 blitz rated player. He dropped his queen then gave away the rest of his stuff.
I thought I'd be horrible at blindfold but I guess not
Am I correct thinking that the only way to play blindfold is to hide the pieces in the settings? I'd like to play a friend who is much weaker, where I play blind but he sees the board. It would be nice if there was a separate blindfold mode for this. Or is it possible to create a new account for playing blindfold using the same email account?

Each player gets their own board, so you can change your piece set to blindfold and your friend would still see the board. A blindfold mode, would force both players to blindfold. That exists on /variants
The new "Blindfold" variant already shouldn't exist--players can draw pictures of the position/move cutouts stuck to a screen, which gives them an unfair advantage. But the main problem is doing Shift+Control+F (like in Fog of War, after the game is over). You can do this in Blindfold mode in-game, which is absolutely broken. Doing that command once turns the game into Fog of War, but only you can see the squares you can move to, and doing it twice turns it into normal chess.
I'm not posting this to encourage people to do this, I just really think it should get fixed because the advantage it gives is overpowered.
So yeah, please fix!
(Also I should be posting this in Beta but whatever lol)
