What helps you visualize the whole board?

@TacTicIsTicTac I have seen his video too, it hasn't helped at all. All he does is brag. I don't need that. There must be another way. There is always another way.

@TacTicIsTicTac

I have started with blindfold "Tic-Tac-Toe" and had no single issue with. But when comes to visualize chess board with pieces, even 1/4, nothing is happens. I'm willing to watch video mentioned in #11 and also try some other method for memorization and visualization.

Some GMs or FMs here can play also 1+0 bullet, Carlsen have some video on Youtube playing in some show blindfolded on 3 tables. But some GMs in the past was able to do blindfold simul with dozen or even several dozen of opponents, which is truly remarkable.

Najdorf played 45 people blindfold in 1940, in the hope that newspapers would write about this and his family in Europe would thus know he was alive and well in Argentinia.

@tpr

Yes, that is great story from the past.

Also George Koltanowski got a visum for the United States after a US consul saw him playing a simultaneous blindfold exhibition.

I think what is taxing on the brain is that people are trying to visualise a chessboard dynamically where they should be trying to visualise the board statically. By this I mean the board should be remembered like a well known photograph, in one complete chunk of long term memory. But what is happening on the board should be dynamic. But most people try remember both situations dynamically and it becomes too taxing on the brain. Also certain openings or configurations could be remembered statically in long term memory.

@difford nobody tries to visualise a board dynamically

well, the best thing to do if you want to visualise the chess board is to answer a question: which color is that square? is it black or is it white? then if you can answer that question you will see the rest of the board and pieces. The thing that helps you to answer that question is that: black colored bishop from black is on f8 so g7 must be black too, and h6, and then you can go further g6 must be white and so on.
@difford
I think I know what you mean by dynamic and static on the chess board, dynamic is happening when combination or tactic occurs but static when there is nothing going on.

@n321 @SucheSchachfreund

The video was just a suggestion. The point of this video is not Danny Renschs bragging, but the exercies itself.
However as a beginner, I would just use a rook instead of a knight.

An example would be:
1. Put a rook on d5 in your head.
2. Then ask yourself how you can get to a specific square on the board in the fastest way possible. If there is a way, maybe you can find another one.

The other method I mentioned was solving puzzles blindfold.
I think it was Kotov in his classic book "Think Like a Grandmaster" who suggested to solve tactical puzzles blindfold.
Maybe you can try it. I took an example I found on the internet and removed all the unecessary pieces.

White: Ka1, Ra3, Ba2

Black: Kh8, Pg7

Can you place the abovementioned pieces in your mental board? Do you know what files, ranks and diagonals are controlling? It took me a lot of time to solve the original puzzle because there were some unnecessary pieces in there, which confused me because as soon as I "placed" them on the board I forgot about the other ones. Eventually I was able to visualize everything and also know what squares, ranks and lines my pieces are controlling.

I think it also helps as @Feniks714 mentioned in his comment when you know what color a certain square has. I am able to tell you what color a certain square has when you give me a certain coordinate.
This was helpful to determine which square around the enemy king are not accessible for him.
Knowing what diagonal the bishop controls was more difficult for me. I had to reconstruct the diagonal starting from a2.
one square above the bishop must be b3, because I know that the next file is a b-file and it must be a third rank. The next square on the diagonal is c4. Now that I know the pattern I can just add as much files and ranks until I reached the end of the diagonal.
With the knowledge that the bishop is located on a2 which is a light square, I know that the bishop controls the square g8 next to the king. As soon as I realized that I can "forget" the bishop and look at other pieces. Slowly you will build up the board in your mind.

It was really hard for me at first, but I eventually did it.

So my suggestion is to take a bunch of "Mate in 1" exercises and remove all unnecessary pieces and try to find the mate. But first you must be able to place a piece anywhere on the board.
This is what worked for me. But I'm still practicing.

@TacTicIsTicTac thank you this is actually helpful and sounds fun, I will try it too

The first is Ra8# right?

Do you have more of such easy examples? I need them so bad :D
