This is a nice mental exercise that can be satisfying. It has been years since I have competed in the US chess federation and I have no interest in going back. But I would like to hold on to my chess knowledge in some way. This game helps me do that. If I take the time and exert the discipline, I can commit the entire board to memory before engaging in blindfold play. I find that the more time I spend in memorizing the board, the less time it takes me to process a solution. I can hold on to my chess thanks to this developer.

Zen Chess: Blindfold Masters is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam. It's a very simple Chess based puzzle game. You're presented with a chessboard with a game in play. In a deviation from the other copy+pastes of this game, as well as the goal of getting a checkmate in a specific number of moves, you're only given a brief glimpse of the board then the pieces are hidden (as if you are blindfolded) and you must click blindly on the empty chessboard to conduct the moves. This is really frustrating, and not at all fun. While the chess puzzles are clever and engaging for chess fans, it's not as good as the other games in the series, and the delivery of this mobile app on Steam is lacklustre. Resolution is locked and the chess depiction is a very simple, web browser tier affair that offers little inspiration to PC gamers. Games don't exist in a vacuum. This paid mobile app on Steam doesn't offer anything that free mobile apps don't. If you want to play this kind of game, don't pay for this mobile app cash grab, because you can play these kinds of games free on the web or in free mobile apps.
I don't think this game is for beginners, more like for intermediate chess players. I would recommend playing this game after trying other games from this series (Mate in one, Mate in two, Mate in three or Mate in four). PROS - Simple to play - A good game for your memory - Beautiful designed chess board - 150 different puzzles - Promoting chess on Steam - Relaxing music CONS - If you press multiple times and quickly enough the "start" button, it gives you the first move that you need to do. - There are some puzzles that have mistakes. This problem is known, but no measures were taken. - There is no reset button - You can do impossible moves - We can't see the final position after completing the puzzle (it jumps to the next level). Difficulty 8/10. It took me around 50 minutes to finish the game. 8/10 for this game.

Interesting. Basically the player need put AI's king in check on every step :D
ilk oyunun biraz daha gelişmiş hali ama kısmen aynı satranç sevenler deneyebilir tam bir satranç da değil bölümler tek hamlede mat edebilmek üstüne kurlu fena değil
3 tane puzzle hatalı, o yüzden tavsiye etmiyorum. Onun dışında 150 tane blindfold puzzle için alacaksanız alın.
Este juego tiene un error en el nivel 37, la torre salta al peon de e7, dando jaque mate en e8.
Definitely a very relaxing experience!
