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.
