Great Visualization Trainer,
By Parker Rose "Parker" (Casper, Wyoming) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chess Mazes (Paperback)
One of the basic chess skills that needs to be developed is visualization. You look at a position, think about where you should move a piece, what your opponent's reply might be and then go on to analyze the position that your mind's eye "sees." This book helps develop this precise skill..It does it by setting up a position with black pieces on one side and just ONE white piece. The reader is then told to move the white piece to a certain square without landing, in transit, on any square controlled by an enemy piece, and to do so in the shortest number of moves. The student, particularly new beginners, may initially find it difficult to solve the puzzle without moving actual pieces around the board. However, when the puzzle -- the "chess maze" -- can be successfully solved without any pieces being moved, the student is well on the way to develop critical skills for playing better chess. A book (and the next in the series, Chess Mazes 2) well worth the time for beginners and "lower" intermediate players. Also may be productively used by instructors working with students. Parker R.
