Play Blindfold Chess Online, Free vs Stockfish

Play full chess games against the Stockfish engine without seeing the board. DarkSquares lets you choose exactly how much of the position stays visible, so you can build blindfold skill gradually instead of jumping straight to a blank board.

Five board-visibility modes take you from training wheels to fully blindfold: the full board, faded pieces, plain disks, an empty grid you fill from memory, and a completely blank board where you track every piece in your head. Set the opponent across eight Stockfish difficulty levels, from a gentle beginner to a strong engine. Enter your moves three ways: tap the pieces, type algebraic notation, or speak them aloud with voice input. Every finished game is saved to your history when you are signed in, so you can replay it move by move and share it. No signup is required to start a free game.
