Of course there are already in fritz :)

Board design > pieces > Blindall
then just move the "pieces" with the mouse

I don't understand why use keyboard at all ...
If you want use keyboard - visit some online chess club like fics and play there
blindfold using style 9 and keyboard to enter moves
Legality is checked also by the gui . You also will have more fun then against
computer :)
or just  minimize the board and only look at the text , then you have it all :)
