Does anyone know a site where I can type the moves with keyboard, hide the board and only see the score sheet?
I want to play blindfolded. I used to play a lot but I want to play online.
In addition to Brian's answer about chess24.com.
You can play blindfold chess too at chess.com
Here are the instructions how to activate blindfold on chess.com:
ToolsOptionsDesignsBoard Colors- Select
BlindAllfrom the drop down menu for pieces - Then
apply.

Why is this the accepted answer? The instructions are for playing the computer, specifically Fritz, locally. – user1093967 Jan 20 '19 at 1:22
Chess24.com allows you to play blindfold in a different way by just hiding the pieces.
When you want to move you drag an invisible piece in the normal way. When your opponent moves you see a line on the board connecting the starting and ending squares of the move.

In addition to the other answers, lichess allows you to do this.
Select the menu (three stacked lines to the right of your profile name), select Preferences, select Game Display, and at the bottom turn on Blindfold Chess.
Try https://www.tryit.in/blindchess. It's a very simple interface where you can play against an engine at different difficulty level by just keying in the moves in algebraic notation and see the board as and when you want. Full disclosure: I am the tool developer! :)
