would be fun if we could make Blindfold chess a variant (with it's own rating / ranking / lists ) rather than just a chess piece option.
e.g
We play Blindfold variant
then the game starts with Blindfold pieces on default for both players.
then there should be blindfold variants.
Yeah, this should be considered, but the number of people who can play blindfold chess in general is questionable.
because you are blindfolded and opponent is not. if both sides are blindfolded, it would gain players.
--- BIG PROBLEM ----
how would you deal with cheaters who would just use another chessboard to avoid playing blind?
play fast tcs.
Maybe in that case, just limit the boundaries from ultra to hyper.
but then that would be too hard for people to play I feel
#5 makes implementation difficult
No. Nobody could afford doing that in a 1+0.
