More Chess
Training from Prof. Chester Nuhmentz: |
Prof. Chester Nuhmentz also provides two great chess
exercises for Chessville readers each month:
ChessVision: In this
exercise, players try to imagine up to 10 moves being made from a starting
diagram, with the goal of finding all the legal captures and checks that
could be made in the envisioned position.
Recon64: Move Prediction Exercise:
Similar to Predict-A-Move and Solitaire-type chess exercises, Recon64
challenges players to find candidate moves from games played by masters.
Players are encouraged to search for several strong candidate moves in each
position, and are rewarded as long as their list of moves includes the move
selected by the master during the game. As an extra twist, players invest
Recon64 dollars on candidate moves based on how likely they think each move
was used in the original game.
