Skip the introduction below - go straight to
this month's game!
A game by Gata Kamsky, the current highest-rated US player, is featured in
the August Chess Vision exercise.
| Once you choose a starting target position,
the exercise will begin. The clock will be
running! Click on squares in the diagram AS IF
THE LISTED MOVE(S) HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE to
indicate where every move that could make a
capture or give check STARTS and ENDS. Correct
responses will automatically be notated in the
tables -- all you do is click! |
In this exercise, players try to
imagine up to 10 moves being made from a
starting diagram, with the goal of finding all
the legal captures and checks that could be made
in the envisioned position.
To begin the exercise, choose how many
half-moves you want to try to look ahead each
turn, and how much time you wish to allow
yourself to find all the possible captures and
checks. Then decide whether you want to use the
default starting position (the one shown on the
right) or begin in a different part of the game.
|
You decide how far to look
ahead (from one to ten half-moves) and how
much time to allow yourself (from 30 seconds to
10 minutes.) You can even choose the
starting position from that month's game:
Then, two weeks later, the same game is used for that
month's Recon64 game, so
you can continue working on and mastering that month's game.
A great way to work on your all-important chess
visualization skills!
Ready? Go to
this month's game! |
