Welcome to CVT !

People tend to lose "sight" when calculating the moves in their heads.
When making a search for "blindfold chess" on the internet you soon find
information that one of the most important advances in your chess life is
to master the art of visualisation. That's why there is this website.
By the way: CVT online is free :-) and an offline version is also available.

Read more about visualization in chess from IM Salinnikov here.
