If anybody wants to play chess in their minds, Lichess has a option to turn the pieces invisible [1]. It's not quite as hard as playing by voice as you have the move list you can refer to but it's a start.

There is also an option to have the computer read moves to you and you can make moves and query the state of the board by typing commands. Streamers use this to play blindfolded, while the stream shows the board position normally to viewers.


Another option is "Move list while playing", which you can set to never. I haven't tried it yet, but combining these two should get you there.


Iā€™m an active user of Lichess and never knew about this mode. Thanks for sharing!
