Chess Vision Trainer

Chess Vision Trainer is a chess training system (patent rights reserved) to improve your visualization and move calculation skills in chess. Visualization and calculation plays a major role in chess. These are the skills that separate the masters from the amateurs. When Alekhine was asked "How many moves do you see ahead?" his answer was "Just one move deeper than my opponent!" The built-in chess playing engine acts as your spar. The position displayed on the chessboard is not the true position, but the position a certain number of half-moves before the true position. You do not decide the moves based on the displayed position, but based on the true position (which you do not see but you are trying to visualize). This means that you are always forced to look ahead of the chess position you see in the board. Then, there is the concept of 'Blindfold Areas.' Blindfold Areas are quadrants of the chess board and these are areas where the pieces are invisible. One of the intentions of this concept is to solve the problem of 'blind spots'. Using the concept of Blindfold Areas will also help you to develop chessboard memory. This idea of dividing the chess board into quadrants is derived from Buckley's suggestion in his book Practical Chess Analysis. The combination of these training exercises will improve your visualization and move calculation skills. [Try Now] [Buy Now]

Chess Workbook v2.0

Chess Workbook is a chess training software based on the proven educational technique known as "FLASHCARDS." Chess Workbook's learning algorithms help you thoroughly master the study material. The program tracks your progress and focuses attention on those positions causing difficulty while continuing to reinforce areas of strength. This technique is recommended by one of the best chess book authors GM Lev Alburt in his Chess Training Pocket Book. In version 2.0, play the training positions against the built-in Crafty chess engine! The flashcard technique coupled with practicing the positions against a strong chess engine - what else could be better in mastering chess? For each training position served, the solver has to correctly make the moves up to the end of the variation in order for his/her answer to be considered as correct. The solver is just given up to three wrong moves per position. This makes Chess Workbook ideal not only for studying the middle game and end game but also the opening phase of the game. Chess Workbook comes with Chess Training Pocket Book Workbook - a workbook containing the first 100 positions of one of the bestsellers of GM Lev Alburt. [Try now] [Buy now]

Personal Biorhythms

With this program, you can chart two of your three biorhythms (physical and intellectual) on a calendar. This program breaks the mold and makes biorhythm reading significantly easier.
