How Do You Practice Chess Visualization?

Link?

thanks.

You're not likely to get a response from @heyRick: he hasn't logged in since 2016. I searched the Apple app store and came up empty, but the Google store has this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conceptual.chessvis&hl=en_US. There might be others, but I didn't look any further.

I have to fight through my impatience and frustration and lack of confidence in my visualization calculations.   Perseverance does not come easy.

so, how did you do it?  Any specific training methods?

No.   It's really more a matter of self-management, controlling your emotions, being patient and positive over small incremental baby steps of improvement.  Visualization is a muscle. 

Some people are naturally stronger than others.  Can't worry about that.  Just strengthen what you have, and enjoy the process.  Celebrate gains, learn from mistakes.  C'est la vie!

In other words:  chess is hard.  Got it.

Got it?  Get it!  Good.

If you have an OTB partner, play a blindfold game.  You don't have to try to do a 20 game blindfold simul, just concentrate on trying to play a single game in your head.  Have your partner move both sets of pieces out of your field of vision.  Try to do this from the opening, then try to stop a normal game in the middle and continue this way, then try with a few pawn and minor piece endgames, etc.  Make sure these are games you are actually playing through, not some random setup that is naturally harder to visualize.

You'll have to get good at algebraic notation to tell your partner the right moves, which is bonus training .

If that seems hard, for basic practice, just count out and visualize the moves in a standard K+P vs. K+P pawn race...if you can't determine who will force promotion first and where the pieces will end up, just keep working there day after day until you can.

My friend @benedictine has produced some courses to train visualization on Chessable. I think they may help. Benedictine has the club player in mind when he designs his courses :

Pretty interesting. I usually just use my engine app on my tablet and go through my favorite openings there.

Sweet.  I really like chessable.  Its my 2nd favorite chess site.  Ill check it out!
