Ridiculous
The idea behind the app is exceptional. But the bot is far too high rated. I’m not going to learn anything when I’m too busy fighting for my life as the bot slowly and methodically destroys me. Absolutely unplayable unless you enjoy suffering repeated embarrassing losses
Lacking
It’s a good idea but the chess ai has no difficulty settings and will likely destroy you everytime if you’re even at the level where you need to train your visualization and blindfolded skills
Use for practice
This app is not ‘training’ where you are trained or ‘shown’ how to play chess blindfolded. It’s an app that allows you ‘practice’ playing chess blindfolded.
There’s a difference…
When you know how to do something you can improve your skill through practice.
Amateurs practice until they get it right and professionals practice until they never get it wrong.
If you have no idea how to go about learning how to play blindfolded then this is not the best way to learn; it’s ok to practice if you already have an idea about chess notation and visualisation and memory techniques but on its own I think ‘beginners’ will struggle.

No easy setting
Computer is too hard
Good but no player difficulty levels
Good how it forces you to play empty board eventually, it's really hard. I only wish I could tweak difficulty of the computer to be easier as well to reach more positions, now it's mostly him over me esp with my blindness which isnt very rewarding ;).
