I just blindfold went over one of Amos Burn's combos (while I was in the shower the other day), the variations.<br /><br />I can play a blindfold game. At first you just need to memorize the square colors and you can piece the board together in your head from there. This also comes from playing umpteen OTB games, and probably from solving tactics puzzles ocassionally. The logic produces the visualization, not the other way around. The logic is the hard thing to come by, the visualization can be learned from practiced. But like I say below it's all about holding things together in your head, then the visualization just "happens".<br /><br />Chess is very much a game of optical illusions if one is simply looking at the board. A lot of stuff can be hanging at first glance and I also notice that players of titled strength can compartmentalize, they can hold more, hang more on the board, and then get onto something else without having to resolve the situation held in their head. So they look for one more thing to dangle on the board and can hold in their head better when it must be resolved and when to dangle more onto it.Brianhttp://www.linuxguyonfics.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-44501263968638085402013-09-17T06:49:07.158-05:002013-09-17T06:49:07.158-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144499430392121542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23075362.post-82900993806873016412013-09-16T07:41:16.665-05:002013-09-16T07:41:16.665-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043463405356848244noreply@blogger.com
