Stepping Stones 101
Season 2, Episode 8, Mar 04, 2023, 12:45 PM
Invisible Chess is a podcast dedicated to blindfold chess and visualisation training.
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.
