The Invisible Knight – Blindfold Chess Visualization
The "Invisible Knight" is a powerful visualization drill designed to strengthen your mind's eye. Your goal is to track the knight's path mentally across the board without seeing the piece move, clicking only the final destination square. Regular practice with this exercise improves your ability to calculate variations and maintain board awareness during complex games.
🧠 Blindfold insight: If you lose track of pieces in your head, you will blunder. This "Invisible Knight" drill is just the start. Systematically train your visualization to calculate deeply without moving the pieces.
