Blindfold chess tests not only one's chess prowess but also mental acuity and agility, even when playing this simplified, modern variant of the classic game. Played on a 5 x 5 board with fewer pieces (one rook, knight, bishop, and five pawns), each game can be completed in minutes. The castling and pawn double-moves are not allowed. There are multiple levels of difficulty available, and the game can also be played in the standard, non-blindfold mode. This fast-paced version is a perfect adaptation of the timeless classic, catering to our fast-paced world.
