Blindfold chess

Yeah.

And as someone who, um, has learned a bunch of skills and is a deconstructed learning fan and understand a little bit about like how, at least how I learned, I didn't know too much about adult learning in general at that time, but how I learned that seemed just wrong like that seemed like just a bad way like if people are saying this is the best thing this is the most important part of the game surely i should be focusing on it um and then yeah so they think about how could i actually approach focusing on it Found a video from Akaro talking about blindfold chess being a great way to learn visualization.

I tried that at 900 ELO, whatever I was, and it went about as well as you'd expect.

And then what at the time to me seemed like a logical step, but has been kind of the centerpiece that built the whole business after that was I went, well, Blindfold Chess requires me to play an entire game of chess.

All I want to do is focus on visualization.

So what if I took all the decisions out and just focused on understanding a game instead of trying to play a game? So I recorded myself reading moves of a few chess games and just 10 minutes a day of like eyes closed, 100% focused, trying to understand each move, like really true and understand...

And then the other piece is for certain things, blindfold is amazing.

Especially for learning kind of your opening theory and stuff of that nature, end game theory.
