Blindfold difficulty levels

[drdoom]

It'll be cool to have several levels to play blindfold chess. Now there's only one option that hides all pieces.
My suggestion is something like:
level 1: all board pieces are like draughts pieces of the same color
level 2: all white pieces are shown as white draughts pieces and black pieces as black draughts pieces.
level 3: all pieces hidden.
This will allow to learn to play blindfold easily, and I think that will be very easy to code.

Wait why does level 1 come before level 2? Definitely sounds harder

[drdoom]

Yes you are rigth, just rename level 3 as level 0, but sure all you'll have more suggestions for this mode.

May be a checkbox to see the complete board every X moves only that turn

Yeah, another level could be to see your own pieces but no the ones of the rival, and viceversa

This could easily be done with userscripts, so I doubt it will be added to the site as an option as it would only be more code for a feature very few would use.

I think that blindfold chess is like a superpower that everyone wishes to have, but it's very difficult to learn straight, It could make a difference if lichess incorporate this feature. I think that other chess portals doesn't have this feature so they can not give you a superpower.
