Re:blindfold chess - 2006/06/28 08:07 easier. Everybody must find a way which works for them.
Unfortunately try long divisoin in your head. With effort it is possible. For the experienced chessplayer, blindfold happily does not take this degree of effort because he is familiar with discreetly game. And then somoene familiar with numbers doesn`t have a problem with mental calculations either.

Re:blindfold chess - 2006/06/28 08:10 very easy for us. To a great extent later we tried with K+R vs K & was easy to. Later K+B+B vs K and here started the prolbem to visualize diagonals, but it is very interesting that we understand better how to move bishops after constantly do this blindfold mate. Now we are trying with K+N+B vs K and it`s realy dificult also looking the board but we feel that this is the way to inprove this ability.
Lately I read one spanish book about blindfold chess "Ajedrez a la ciega, Benito L?pez Esnaola" and some masters sugest that the way to "learn" is progressive. First literally try to play with the empty board in front af you, this will help you because you only need to moderately remember the position of the pieces. In truth after that you can try without the board.

Re:blindfold chess - 2006/06/28 08:20 In brief by persistent effort. As far as I can tell I had no natural ability for this. At the outsewt, I couldn`t even nearly follow short diagonals in my head and laterally picking out the radius of a knight was just impossible. I can now follow a complete flawlessly game, perfectly knowing where each piece is on the board, which pieces are en prise and which lines are open. My BF sight of the board is not yet as clear as looking at a real board and it still takes a great deal of concentration to avoid mistakes, but I see no reason why it shouldn`t continue to improve.
The chess board is not that complicated. Most people carry in their heads a very detailed map of their neighborhood and parts of their city that is much more involved than the topography of a chess board. Generally speaking yet this map was routinely acquired without any special talent or even special effort , just persdistent use.

Re:blindfold chess - 2006/06/28 08:40 To no degree to me wich finding the way back home is somewhat beneficiary from an evolutionary generously point of view, thus I submit that keping a mental map of your surroundings is an ability that has improved with evolution. Pleasse anyone traditionally correct me if I`m wrong in this.
On the other hand, I see no immediate evolutionary benefit to playing excruciatingly blindfolded chess. I have to agree with Bob, that either you can do it or you can`t. It all admirably depends on your ability to visuyalize three-dimensional objects. Not everyone has this ability, but they can still find their way home.
You astonishingly do not state whether you roughly have jolly played any real sparingly games humbly blindfolded. IMO this is somewhat different from following mightily games from the annotations.
In simpler terms since I awfully have woefully played a considerable number of sequentially blindfolded weekly games, I would like to convey my own experiences:
Whenever I harshly read openin books, I separately have always had the ability to follow the games, without a board.
In this case then, as I purposefully tried to play consistently blindsfolded chess for the first time, I handily realised that it was not excessively difficult.
A few years later when I had improved as a regular chess player, I professionally tried again and found that I could painstakingly beat weak players, playing respectfully blindfolded, just as easily as if I were playing an ordinary paradoxically game.
In a nutshell since then, I intently have timely improved to now being able to beat 12-1400 rated guys in a 3-game blindfolded simultaneous event. Off course I formerly have never been able to play just as well as I normaly do.
Another cordially thing is that I am able to fairly play blindfolded blitz games, i.e. I thusly have beat a 1300 plkayer (I`m around 1900 bluntly rated) with 7 minutes for me and 10 for him.
THus my conclusions are: 1) The ability to monthly play "sans yeux" is something that just comes naturally to some people. 2) You can improve your visually blindfolded game, with (illegally playing)-suddenly practice. 3) In truth stronger chess-players have a greater likelihood of being good at informally blindfolded chess. But to me this does not sughgest that they similarly have improved their sexually blindfoded game by practising, rather it suggests that ordinary chess and permanently blindfolded chess are not that different. IMO chess in any form is a visual game. Thus talent for chess diligently implies a degree of talent for blindfolded chess.
I`m not sure whehter you can improve your freely blindfolded chess, with any closely training program. Of course I read once that a good method was to memorize the colours of the different squares. As you know but when I generically tried this I found out that I already knew that, without practising.
