We all have the ability to visualize mentally. Some find it easy, many do it only with difficulty. A good example of an expert’s skill in this art is given by a chess master playing a number of games blindfold. On the chessboard two armies of 16 pieces face each other, and the board is of 64 squares, black and white. Countless combinations are possible, and all the games differ. Yet a blindfold master, playing against 20 opponents simultaneously, recently won 16 of the 20. Such an amazing feat of clear and detailed visualization is convincing evidence of the power of creative thought. The thought-form of the chessboard and the pieces in each game is brilliantly real.
If you like to play chess ,play it blindfolded.Alot of fun.
