![]() I couldn't do this when I was 7, but at 53, and after 1000's of hours practicing the guitar physically, it's not too hard to see it in my head, and then play it. I don't need to physically practice the guitar anymore to learn something new. I can practice new scales, chords, anything - in my head - and then play it right the first time. I started playing guitar at age 7, and I can visualize my fingers on the strings just fine. How Do You Practice Chess Visualization? When did you develop decent visualization skills? After how many years? Was it something that just sort of happened as you grew up with the game over many years, starting as a child? Once I moved the pieces in Chess Base, I saw the winning move imeadiately, so it wasn't because I couldn't see the tactic. I just couldn't see the position clear enough that far ahead.

Well, it's not completely that bad, but it gets much worse when there are multiple captures, and needing to see the resulting position after those multiple captures. While playing internet chess, it's difficult for me to imagine my White dark square bishop capturing Black's knight on f6, look at the board, and NOT see that knight anymore, because it is STILL there. I find it much easier to calculate variations without pieces on the board. I'll look at the paper and move an imaginary knight around the board, for example: find Nf5, find Nf6 or practice openings, checkmates, tactics.everything and anything. I use a 2.5" x 2.5" paper chess board that I cut out from a score sheet.
