Description

A bonus episode of the podcast:

The Stepping Stones chess visualisation technique - an introductory guide.

In this episode I talk about what the Stepping Stones method is, it's origins (hat-tip - Jon Tisdal, Improve Your Chess Now) and the very basics of how to get started with the idea.  When and how often should you put down a stone when visualising? Also featured: some tips and guidance on how to get the most out of the technique based on my experience of using the method.

Full disclosure - there's an elephant in the room in this episode.

Invisible Chess: A podcast dedicated to blindfold Chess & visualisation Whether you're already an experienced blindfoldista or are brand new to this; whether you're a relative chess beginner or maybe even a master - this is a podcast that will have something for you. HOST: I'm Jonathan (GetBentLarsent on chess websites). I've been a serious chess player for 35 years, for several years a fulltime professional chess coach and a longtime fan of playing chess without sight of the board and pieces. INVISIBLE CHESS: This podcast will give you training exercises and materials; techniques and methods to play chess blindfold; dedicated episodes aimed at beginners and newcomers; suggestions and tips on how to create a blindfold chess training programme that will last because it fits in harmoniously with all your existing commitments - on the chessboard and away from it. Perhaps most importantly, since the number one reason why chess players don't try blindfold chess training is the feeling that they will not be able to do it, Invisible Chess will help you build your motivation and belief that visualisation work can be for you.
