How to Develop Blindfold Chess Skill

Elliott Neff shows you how to develop a skill of playing "blindfold chess". First he demonstrates the fundamentals and then gives you the steps to forming the mental capability of visualization.
Elliott has played 12 games simultaneously, blindfold - not losing a single game!

This is for those of you who take this seriously and practice. I discovered this wonderful video more than two years ago and started practicing almost each morning on my way to work. That was not easy for me, to say it mildly! But I was and am convinced that this kind of training is the best I can do for my chess (and besides, that chess is very a good aid when it comes to other abilities in my life - this chess 4 life thing matches my experience indeed). Finally I managed all the steps from the first 4'45" of the instruction - i.e. until playing with a friend "actually blindfolded". However to me that challenge seems to be way more difficult than moving a single knight across the board, because now I have to remember - and visualise - a position of many pawns and pieces all over the board. That stumbling block put me off for half a year now. Half a year of negligence. I have to figure out a way to train visualising gradually more complicated positions. I finally have one idea: Training to look at a chess position, shut my eyes and then try to tell each square of as many pawns and pieces as possible. Starting with a few pieces & pawns, then gradually increasing the amount. I am pretty sure that will bring me further. Cheers to Elliott Neff!

@@Chess4Life First of all: Yesterday evening I started applying your step-by-step instructions for learning blindfold chess, and I feel I'm already making great progress. Your way of breaking it down to quite simple, manageable chunks of learning tasks was a true eye-opener for me. A sincere thank you! Furthermore, as you point out, learning blindfold chess is far more than being equipped with an fun party-trick impressing your friends, it's probably a very powerful tool to improve your overall chess skills. Being able to clearly picture various game progressions based on current positions/structures and available moves, will considerably improve one's chess skills and level. As a reply to your question regarding specific topics, I have to admit I'm new to your site. However, you being an FM and great instructor, I'd be very interested to listen to your chess ideas when it comes to e.g. openings, mid-game and end-game. I'm not sure this aligns with your intended scope of content of this particular site, still I'd be very interested to listen to your ideas of chess.

[@duxcapacitor6791]

Another help for remembering colors is by changing the letters a to h to numbers 1 to 8. So a1= 1 1 etc When both numbers are either odd or even, it's a black square. When there is an odd and an even number, the square is white. For example: g5 = 7 5. Two odd numbers means it's a dark square e6= 5 6. One even and an odd number -> white square

[@guilhermegomes1314]

yeap, just remembering "aceg" as odd letters, if it's aceg+odd than it's black, if it's aceg+even it's white unfortunately that only helps in figuring out the color quickly, it doesn't help much in the bigger task of visualizing the board in our head

[@GMBethHarmon]

Although this will help you figure out the colour fast, it's better not to do this. You won't actually be developing visualisation - you'll be using a mathematical observation as a crutch.

[@rebelknpv573]

Haha do you even know that if a knight needs to go from a dark to a light square or the other way around it takes an odd amount of moves and from one square to another square of the same color it takes an even amount That’s because every move knights change’s colors That’s why computers are so good at chess Great video though

[@rebelknpv573]

And yep it’s better to visualize it but sometimes the visualization is triggered just by doing the math

[@shriram5494]

The point is to visualize the board and not find out the colour

[@wuorson5111]

For colour squares, imagine abcdefgh as 12345678, if both odd or both even, it is black square for example a1 as 11, b4 as 24, c7 as 37, f6 as 66, h2 as 82, c5 as 35, if one odd one even it is white square, for example a6 as 16, d5 as 45, e2 as 52, g8 as 78, and so on

Hi Elliot, when you are visualise. Do you see the full board clearly even when it’s blank? I’ve been practicing for a few weeks now and the image of the board has become clearer but I struggle to “zoom” out of the quadrant that I’m using as a reference. For example I struggle to see in my head the spaces between B3 and G5. When you did the knights tour example, were you visualising a full board then? Should I dedicate my time with blank board exercises such as colour of the square, diagonal or just try and practice playing games or a mix of both? Also I’ve been watching and playing games but only staring at the centre of the board so that my focus point is always the same. Do you think this will help?

[@fubaralakbar6800]

Technique to figure the color of a square: 1) Convert the letter to a number. a=1, h=8. 2) Look at the multiplicities (even/odd) of the two numbers you now have. If you have like multiplicities (even/even, odd/odd), it's a dark square. If you have unlike multiplicities (even/odd, odd/even), it's a light square. Remember, odd files are a, c, e g, just like the spaces on a music staff! Even files are b, d, f, h. a1=odd/odd, therefore it is dark. b2=even/even, so it is dark. c6=odd/even, so it is light. f4=even/even, so it is dark. Try it! It works!

[@ChessHouse]

That's quite the observation. I like it, even if it did stretch my brain momentarily.

[@zwebzz9685]

It’s worse to use this or any other though than to just memorize the color of all 64 squares one by one. You are trying to reduce the mental workload in future chess games so adding an intermediary logic step to the visualization process isn’t helping.

[@yousufkanan247]

[@candyxxv5834]

What goes without saying, is that you need to first clean up your normal game before attempting this. I personally make atleast one blunder each game. I can only imagine how this translates to me blindfolded. I think people should learn how to do this when they consistently make no blunders in a game. Also, play slower paced games during that time, since you can actually practice you visualization of future moves that way.

Also, be free to play short 10 move games and stop. Also, set up a position in your head with just a few pieces. Like practice a Rook and King vs King checkmate.

In stage 2, with ANY piece, place it on any square, visualize that square, it's color, and then every square the lone piece could move to on an empty board in just 1 move. Try to 'see' this in your head - not just 'figuring out' and naming those squares, but also figuring out and trying to 'see' the color of the squares, the lines the piece makes as it moves to those squares, etc. Does this help explain for you?

I just found a formula for identifying the colour of the square, it's pretty simple. Just number the alphabets, example: A is ODD, B is EVEN, C is ODD, D is Even and so on. Now if the square notation is EVEN - EVEN or ODD - ODD then it's a Dark square (for ex - a1 here a is ODD and 1 is ODD, b2, g7 etc) AND if it is EVEN - ODD or ODD - EVEN then it's a Light square (for ex - b3, g6 etc) Ok Let's summarise, EVEN : EVEN = Black ODD : ODD = Black EVEN : ODD = Light ODD : EVEN = Light Using this we can name the colour of square upto 26 x 26 board (eg, Z 26 will be Black)

Computing the light/dark squares is extremely easy. Think of the files as ABCDEFGH(12345678 respectively) and the ranks as numbers of course. When you have 2 odds or 2 evens together it's coloured square, if it's a mixture of odd and even the it's a white square.

Great video. Thank you! Main reason I want to do this is so I can read chess books easily without a board.

Oops - that was an oversight.
