I don't know any chess linux program to play blindfold chess: Hide black pieces, white pieces, pawns, ... A very good training method. |

Well, far out in the future PyChess might support all kinds of strange chess variants.
Until then, I can only give you this tip to make PyChess not draw the pieces:
Find the file lib/pychess/widgets/BoardView.py. In line 327 you change the line "
self.drawPieces (context, pieces, r)" into " #self.drawPieces (context,
pieces, r)" and save it.
That should be all.

Maybe it can be a togglable menu item in the view menu, as in xboard. |

Currently the difficulty combobox is disabled for human players. Perhaps it could contain "Normal, semiblindfold and blindfold" instead.. |

What do you think about more choices? Normal All pieces white Hide black pieces Hide white pieces Hide pawns Hide non pawns Full blindfold |

Well, it should probably be "hide own pieces" rather than "hide white pieces". Also - if they are put in a combo under the label "difficulty", perhaps they should each have a label like "Handicapped", "Semihandicapped" |
