Visualization training

Chess

See moves ahead without moving the pieces.

What coaches agree on

  • Build visualization by replaying real games a few moves at a time without looking at the board, holding each position in your head before checking it against the actual position.
  • Build up difficulty gradually, starting with just a few moves or simple, piece-light positions like endgames before moving to longer or fuller ones.

  • Drill the board's coordinates and square colors on their own, using landmarks like corresponding squares and diagonals, as a foundation for visualization.
