Hey everyone! 👋 I built DarkSquares after realizing there was no structured way to train blindfold chess. Most resources just say "practice more" — not very helpful. So I created a progressive system that actually works: start with the basics (which square is d4? what color is f7?) and gradually build up to playing entire games without seeing the board. The key insight was removing visual cues step by step: full board → piece silhouettes → colored disks → nothing. Your brain adapts naturally. A few highlights: - 15+ exercise types targeting different visualization skills - 150+ famous games to replay in your head (Morphy, Kasparov, Carlsen...) - Play against AI from beginner to master level — completely blind - Track progress with quests and achievements Free tier is fully usable, Pro unlocks all famous games and removes limits. Would love your feedback — what visualization skills do you struggle with most?
