Thanks for watching! Board vision is one of the three types of "Chess Vision" - for more, see kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7F8gMqm1aucaGQ.html. You might also enjoy my 2021 award-winning video How to Make Better Chess Moves kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNRxYJiitarVZ6c.html

Discovering Novice Nook has been the best thing for me. Thank you, Mr. Dan.

Thanks. Yes, unfortunately the original Novice Nooks are behind a paywall now. But you can purchase from Everyman my book A Guide to Chess Improvement: the best of Novice Nook as well as find videos here on KZfaq covering most of the key Novice Nook concepts. :)

Another useful video, Dan. Thanks. I got the first exercise wrong, but somehow I got the second one correct (in probably about 5 minutes).

Wow, great job. The second exercise was much more difficult than the first (IMHO).

Board vision includes every little pattern you've learned, every relationship between the pieces. For example, at 9:44, in addition to Dan's examples, my board vision also shows me: 1. The pawn on c6 and the knight on c3 make a pattern--the pawn is three squares in front of the knight, stopping it from coming forward to b5 or d5; 2. the queen on e2 is seeing/protecting the pawn on e5 through the bishop; 3.White has luft, preventing later back-rank mates, Black doesn't; 4. White's knight on c3 and rook on a1 are undefended/loose, and Black has no loose pieces. All of these things flash through your mind quickly, and some are more important than others.

Yes, I could have added more details like this but I am glad you did :)

We are creatures who love a good story. If I understand this correctly, board vision is telling the story of the position. This is similar to how memory champions memorize long series of random number sequences ... they build a story around it.

Yes, psychologists call this learning in "chunks" - I discuss this in the first chapter of my book "Everyone's Second Chess Book" :)

As a 500-level beginner, what level of games should I review for practice?

@danheismanchess 5 ай бұрын

First, you want to review your own games with your opponents, stronger players, later an engine: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rq2He7ipmr7Dd58.html. If you are reviewing others' games you want to start with instructieve anthologies like Logical Chess Move by Move by Chernev. My complete list is the 2nd list at www.danheisman.com/recommended-book-lists.html.

Do you have thoughts about visualize the board and pieces in 2D or 3D? I have seen a couple of people saying that high levels visualize in 2D but in a recent interview Magnus Carlsen said that visualizes in 3D. Do you see advantage in either way if that matter at all a part from personal taste? Thank you, Dan

I know that some primarily online players have trouble when first playing OTB because they are used to playing 2D, and vice versa as some OTB players have more trouble trying to play online because they are used to visualizing in 3D. However, your question about visualizing in general I have not considered; I guess everyone is different. When I visualize in blindfold play it's somewhat 2D but when i play online it's more 2D and when I play OTB it's more 3D (in other words I just duplicate what I "see"), and I never thought about it because it's a moot point if you can see the board clearly either way.

@@danheismanchess I wasn't thinking about a different board view depends on if OTB or online. Thank you for your thoughts
