I thought I'd give blindfold chess a shot, after watching those big guns play blindfold chess at the Amber tournament.

it's not so easy for me either though. here I'm only posting the best blindfold games, not the ones where I hung a queen because I missed there was a pawn somewhere ;)

doesn't seem so much like true blindfold chess when you can read the algebraic notation
