And now for something completely different... Visualise 1 is the first course in a new series with a different focus. It forces you to slow down and really think about each position carefully.
It is totally unlike any course right now on Chessable.Improve your raw chess visualisation skills with Benedictine's unique new method
With the timer disabled as default, it starts off fairly easy with 10 one move ahead to visualise warm-up exercises.
However, the difficulty then switches up a gear with 20 positions each of two-four moves ahead positions.
Then you face 10 more five-seven moves ahead positions to really challenge your visualisation skills to the max!
Why train visualisation?
Visualisation skill is a core part of calculation, something necessary in virtually every single chess game.
Chess players invest loads of time studying openings, (sometimes ones that rarely appear on the board) and general tactics, but training visualisation is something that's often largely neglected.
How to use this course?
Follow the text moves and try to visualise the position. Then find the best continuation which will be a clear tactic or a mate.
When you feel you have visualised the position clearly and found the tactic or mate, move through the listed moves and then enter your solution.
Special thanks to Chessable users dirkil for the initial idea of a visualisation course such as this.
