Saving each position to a file has the advantage that I can easily see how many new problems I have and paste them in when I have a decent batch. I might be worth changing in mid stream.<br /><br />Is there a tool for generating FEN from an image file with a single board position?Geoff Fergussonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677387413949625511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846266856681564818.post-33578322784538912222013-12-21T03:45:52.216-08:002013-12-21T03:45:52.216-08:00I did re-test the check-training-link, it worked. ...I did re-test the check-training-link, it worked. You may try the link "Board Vision : Fritz - Check" in the section "Other Board Vision Exercises" at my blog ( right hand ) instead. ( "Board vision chess training - learning to quickly spot checks" at youtube )<br /><br />The snippingtool might be half a microsecond quicker ;). Its smaller so it starts quicker. Alt/PrintScr is already done at start and the "crop function" is "already selected" too. Last but not least, the "board" is automatically in the clipboard. <- Dont take that serious ! ;)<br /><br />High speed tactic puzzle training does help to improve but its not sufficient !!<br /><br />Better player have better board vision :<br />http://youtu.be/KdwMRS-_Bd0 ( see 4:00 - 9:00 ) There are scientific papers about that . Why? because better player did look for those things regularily. They did develop special hardware ( neural networks ) in their brain:<br />http://youtu.be/2wzs33wvr9E ( see 41:00 - 44:00 ). <br />GM's can memorise a chessposition within 3 sec: ( same video 19:00 - 20:00 ) . A good chesstraining has to create ( some of ) these skills ( too ). A proper thoughtprocess might do?<br /><br />I use my mobility trainer to improve my positional "vision". <br /><br />( Shannons evaluation-functon is: material+0.1*mobility<br />thats enough to write a chessengine which can win. So material-vision and mobility vision are of ( high ) value )<br /><br />But i dont count the moves , i "judge" them. Several chesscoaches ( f.e. Silman ) suggest to compare the comparable pieces of both sides in a given position ( thought process ! ). The black minor pieces with the white minor pieces, black and white rooks...<br /><br />My mobility training: i look at every position and compare the mobility of the queens... knights ( and usually "ignore" the pawns ) and then quess the overall mobility. <br /><br />The chesstempo link help you to make a board vision training with every tactical position.<br />Getting aware of all relevant features of a position ( quick ) should be one of our goals.<br />AoxomoxoA wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058687381216896080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846266856681564818.post-52489514629042916212013-12-20T23:13:51.299-08:002013-12-20T23:13:51.299-08:00That is interesting.

Your check training link does not work. For the mobility training, do you practice counting the numbers of moves for each side and subtracting the results? The chesstempo link provides lots of good advice.Geoff Fergussonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677387413949625511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846266856681564818.post-87430521981565148512013-12-20T17:11:18.107-08:002013-12-20T17:11:18.107-08:00I use the "Snipping Tool" to copy a prob...I use the "Snipping Tool" to copy a problem from the screen ( http://youtu.be/tiyYrRpbIcQ ) then insert it into anki via CRTL v ( http://youtu.be/zgfXnqxWScs ). Good thing about Anki, it runs at ipods too ;) and the syncronisation between desktop and ipod is transparent. You can edit every solution later easily too.<br /><br />The high speed tactics training creates these "bad habbits" you mentioned, i have them too.<br />I start calculating forced moves before i even saw/recognised every single piece. I forced myself to count the material first ( at least ), which can be done very quick ( http://aoxomoxoa.ao.funpic.de/Material/index.html )<br />To see all ! checks can be speed up by the fritz-boardvision training ( http://youtu.be/5-90_LH_W9A ) and to look at every possible move is a "mobility" check ( http://aoxomoxoa.ao.funpic.de/Mobility/index.html )<br />So if you look for all checks or all of your possible moves then this is a "board vision training". <br /><br />I think it is important to do many puzzles this way: http://chesstempo.com/chess-forum/chess_tactics_discussion/tips_for_improving_your_tactics_training-t811.0.html<br />This helps to develop: understanding, board vision, chess memory/awareness, pattern of weaknesses and pattern how to make use of such weaknesses ( Plan B ). Only "CCT" ( Plan A ) is not enough<br /><br /><br /><br />AoxomoxoA wonderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058687381216896080noreply@blogger.com
