hey everybody we're back to get our
vision checked a little bit of a special
video this week because it dawned on me
that perhaps more than just watching
Yours Truly go through the vision test
on chess.com and uh maybe offering some
quick tips along the way if we're lucky
um actually talking about how you can
build this muscle and what some of the
exercises you can do some of which I'm
hoping to develop into products and
features eventually on our site
chess.com and some that you can do on
your own if you're actually an ambitious
chess player looking to push the ceiling
on your own ability to to calculate
whether it's play blindfold games or to
just visualize and keep track of things
in your head so one of the first things
I want to stress is that visualizing the
board and when you close your eyes not
just seeing random green and white
squares or black and white squares but
actually knowing you know the spacing
and the the the presence of every square
and where they are in correlation to the
pieces you're imagining moving in your
head is very important because it's
something that um it's something that is
what truly governs whether or not you
make blunders or not I've said this
before but I want to elaborate on why
often what ends up happening in a
calculation sequence is that at a
certain point somebody loses track of
where something is whether it's the
opponent's piece on a long file or
diagonal or even up close or they forgot
they took a piece or uh you just spend
time after a few moves trying to
evaluate do I feel positioning better
here strategically did this help my plan
whatever and less on where are the
concrete placements of the pieces now
and are there any new tactics that
weren't there before new tactics being
missed is what ends what you end up
seeing in the middle of that line right
so you commit to the line and then two3
moves into the line actually playing the
line with your opponent you're like oh
wait I can't keep going for this because
at the end of this line I'm losing that
happened in the beginning of the
commitment to the variation and so
that's why you want to work on this so
some tools I recommend you do with a
partner especially or if you're a a
coach a dad a a mom a dad a coach
anybody who cares about the success of
another young person one exercise I
recommend is you can hang a chessboard
above their bed or every night before
they go to bed have them close their
eyes and go through what all the squares
are so that you know it's not just a a
parlor trick or random guesswork you can
push them at first to remember the
colors of the squares then eventually
the full diagonals then eventually come
up with routes of the pieces until
eventually you can challenge them to do
an exercise that the the Soviet chest
school did often that I was actually
taught by Gregory cardono and I'm going
to display all of those for you here so
first thing you can do I just did a test
here I did a 30 for 30 it was pretty
good not my best work but 30 for 30 is
not bad what we're going to do now is
actually bring back the
coordinates and uh and actually throw on
my My adorable little blindfold here
because hey everybody needs a branded
blindfold and I want to prove to you
that this is uh this is about
remembering the coordinates if I can
make this thing fit on my head I think I
can my big head so it's about
remembering the board Beyond just this
Vision chainer right we all love when we
do the vision trainer and it says B1 or
G8 or whatever right so you're you're
guessing it but you can use your eyes
and our vision trainer helps build that
muscle as far as your speediness and and
um the faster you get the more you
should be able to do which should
reflect your full board awareness but
here's an exercise you can do to start
so pretending you guys ask me so G5
black right name d8 H4 diagonal I go d8
E7 F6 G5 H4 and now you guys can see
that I know the board right so we start
with F1 F1 E2 D3 C4 B5 A6 uh name uh B1
to H7 B1 C2 D3 E4 F5 G6 H7 uh move a
knight from G1 to G8 as quickly as
possible so Knight on G1 moves to and
there's several ways to do it Knight to
F3 Knight to E5 Knight to G6 Knight to
E7 Knight to G8 I think that's the
fastest we could also go Knight H3
Knight F4 Knight H5 Knight F6 Knight G8
I think that's the same route move a
knight uh or let's see move a queen from
E1 to
A8 um as quickly as possible you go
Queen E1 to E4 to A8 or or something
like this now the exercise you can get
to eventually are two things one the
first Soviet exercise I'm going to give
you is visualize that there's a queen on
D5 okay I wish I had highlighted this
before H cuz now I'm blind hold it these
are real world problems here right
everybody so let me let me highlight
this for you just cuz just so you know
oh I can't use highlights on our vision
board imagine the queen on D5 black
queen on D5 and I have a white knight on
A1 so move the Knight to every Square on
the board without ever touching a square
that is attacked by the queen on D5 so
for example if I had a knight on A1 and
I moved it to B3 that loses but how can
I get my knight to C1 if I don't go to
B3 well the other access point is
obviously E2 two because A2 D3 and B3
are all are all taken right so let's see
we start with a knight on A1 put a few
seconds on the clock let's see how fast
I can do this so Knight on A1 goes
Knight to C2 Knight to A3 Knight to B1
Knight to C3 Knight to E2 Knight to
C1 uh Knight back to E2 C3 B1 A3 C2 B4
A6
C7 E8 F6 H7 f8 G6 E7 C8 B6 A4 B2 back to
A4 back to
C3 back to back to B1 back to A3 back to
C2 back to E3 back to C2 back to E1
let's see let's go back to C2 to E3 to
F1 to
G3 uh to F1 to H2 to G4 to F2 to H3 to
G1 to E2 to F4 to G6 to
H4 back to G6 back to h8 back to G6 back
to f8 to H7 to F6 to G4 to F2 back to G4
to H2 or sorry from H2 let's go to F1 um
Knight to G3 not sure I named that one
yet Knight back to F1 Knight to E3
Knight again to
C2 and then I think back to A1 did I get
them all I think I did so you have to
bring the Knight back when you're done
that's part of the rule so uh if we had
another partner here highlighting the
squares as I spoke it might be a little
easier but I think I followed the route
and the point is you can challenge
yourself to do this faster and faster
and if you if your opponent or partner
ever steps on a square you can Buzz them
maybe even with like an electric shocker
like Bill Murray uses on the
Ghostbusters right hashtag that's going
to be the worst remake ever did anybody
ask for a remake of Ghostbusters the
answer is no anyway so um this is one
exercise now let's talk about another
exercise where you can actually make it
progressively more difficult we start
out with let's say a bishop on D5 a rook
on G2 and a knight on F4 okay they're
all the same color now what you have to
do is name every piece that is defended
or attacked by one of your pieces so in
this case we would name Rook on G2 and
Bishop on D5 because the Knight on F4
hits the bishop on D5 and the bishop and
the Knight both hit the Rook on G2 but
if we move the rook in this position
from G2 to G7 now the only piece we
would name is D5 the bishop on D5 so you
need a partner for this because you need
them to challenge you if you're moving
this piece as yourself by definition
your brain is sort of locked in and and
you're sort of sub consciously choosing
a square that's either safe or protected
depending on whatever you choose that
round so you need somebody to tell you
um you know Rook to G7 and now Knight to
H5 and here you would say Rook on G7
because now the bishop isn't defended
anymore then you then The Rook moves to
A7 now you would say none or you would
say pass if you're playing this game
with a partner and you see how quickly
you can do it and then eventually let's
say we have this Knight on H5 Bishop on
D5 Rook on A7 let's add another piece
Bishop on E3 now you say Rook on A7
because there's a bishop on A3 and so
you push yourself and then after that
the the Knight goes to F4 so now you say
Knight on F4 Rook on A7 then The Rook
goes to A3 and you say Bishop on E3
Knight on F4 oh sorry and Bishop on D5
that's right cuz the Knight came back to
F4 so the point is this sort of keeping
track if somebody was really challenging
you you and imagine now add a few pieces
and I'm moving the pieces all over the
board remember we initially started with
work on G2 Knight on F4 Bishop on D5 but
as the pieces are are being moved all
over the board your ability to keep
track of those things in your brain is
very uh very reflective to your ability
to calculate a really long combination
and not not make any sort of blunders
you know uh we see top players make
blunders like this all the time in Blitz
and rabbit right they make a combination
and they forgot that a piece was
defended that you know it wasn't
defended before and so at the highest
level even all all games are eventually
lost because of a mistake at some point
in this way you could say maybe it's a
mistake on a 30 move deep level where
someone Mis evaluates where a piece is
and it has to do with the strategical
weakness of a pawn you know or it can be
a blunder but either way eventually
something is lost because of your your
your ability your or inability to
calculate properly to keep things
organized and to properly anticipate
your opponent's threats which is what
visualization is all about properly
anticipating your opponent's threats so
that you can execute your plans and not
misplace or miscalculate what might
eventually happen to you so there you go
there's my there's my little speech for
today oh my God I look like a badass
with that bandana Daniel
Luso right look at that
let's do the right that's a good GIF if
somebody makes a gift of this you're
awesome anyway
um so let me do one um let me do one
exercise while you guys can see it here
we'll see if I can do a little more than
30 let's hide the coordinates let's go
back to showing um showing no
coordinates so we can start fresh Ready
set go G5 A2 H4 h8 A6 G8 B1 E4 H5
C2 going slow I feel like I'm going slow
I feel like I'm going
slow go faster Danny you are so
old I was clicking F3 I was clicking F3
okay but we got 31 out of 31 and this is
more just like a speed you know kind of
uh challenge for yourself to try to
recognize how how uh how well you're
doing full board awareness right and
then of course you can you can bump up
to moving not just the uh squares but
the pieces too and so this this video
though was much more about you know
really giving some valuable takeaways to
my followers make sure you uh subscribe
to the channel uh share it with your
friends and know that at some point for
those of you who are premium members and
are like Danny stop giving away all your
really you know in-depth teaching advice
