    Play blindfold chess against any UCI compatible engines.

  • A little sidenote and in addition to all the great advices written here - I found a little command-line blind-chess program called PiƱata which allows one to play against engines using algebraic notation input and output. You will need to download an engine file of your choice and put it on the same folder.

  • If you are looking for a weaker opponent (Stockfish 14, even at depth 1 isn't a walk in the park for a start) I did a little tournament between a bunch of not-top engines and found that Lucas Chess's acqua engine is the weaker I could find (and the engine file can be found on the software folder).
