Blindfold games -- see if you can follow
Compiled by nasmichael
--*--

Musician Ray Charles used his fingers to see what he needed, but the plans on his chessboard came straight out of his mind, just as surely as did his music, and just as surely the players listed below used the same process in the games that follow. Follow along with your mind first, and then your eyes.

Play like this while you are looking, and I will praise you.
