Chess Vision Trainer is a
chess training system (patent rights
reserved) to improve your visualization
and move calculation skills in Chess.
Visualization and calculation plays
a major role in chess. These are the
skills that separates the masters
from the amateurs.
When Alekhine was asked "How many
moves do you see ahead?" his answer
was "Just one move deeper than my
opponent!".
The built-in chess playing engine
acts as your spar. The position displayed
on the chess board is not the true
position but the position a certain
number of half-moves before the true
position. You do not decide the moves
based on the displayed position but
based on the true position (which
you do not see but you are trying
to visualize). This means that you
are always forced to look ahead of
the chess position you see in the
board.
Then, there is the concept of 'Blindfold
Areas'. Blindfold Areas are quadrants
of the chess board and these are areas
where the pieces are invisible. One
of the intentions of this concept
is to solve the problem of 'blind
spots'. Using the concept of Blindfold
Areas will also help you to develop
chess board memory. This idea of dividing
the chess board into quadrants is
derived from Buckley's suggestion
in his book Practical Chess Analysis.
The combination of these training
exercises will improve your visualization
and move calculation skills.
