Dark Squares
Master chess blindfolded — one exercise at a time
What it does
DarkSquares helps you master blindfold chess through a progressive training system. Start with fundamentals like square colors and coordinates, then advance to knight paths, tactical puzzles, and replaying famous games (Morphy, Kasparov, Carlsen) entirely in your head.

Available on web, iOS, and Android.

We wondered: “why can’t you just do that in software and bring the best…
