If you want to improve your memory and awareness, you could try to play chess without looking at the chessboard. It's quite hard and could take months to master. The trick is not to get there immediately but to try first by playing on a chessboard where all the pieces are pawns (you need only two chessboards for that) so you have only to remember which is the Rook, which is the Queen etc... Then when you have mastered that you can try full-fledged blindfold chess. A friend of mine is an expert on that. He can play four games simultaneously without looking at the boards. That's a challenge. Of course, it's still far from what geniuses manage to do. Alekhine could play up to 26 blindfolded games simultaneously and against great players at that!!!
It must of been 10th grade after 12 hour summer working at the Asbury Park boardwalk -- when after beating the computer at all its levels in chess -- I started about doing the chess without looking just saying my moves in standard form..the other person had the board going on I would sit on the beach and just play with the sand. -=- I won a few times and also tried to move pieces that were not there ..
but great Idea I do play chess with zillions of games this chess engine and such is quite the difficult one .. --- so I lose mostly beyond the halfway point setting for the computer opponent.. --- thanks for the suggestion
@Discofan I will play a few rounds tonite..
=== this zillions I will do a small plug to its like every possible board game that exists and then the new board games.. really fun program. it is. I would still like to see the game time vectors(multi-dimensional game play) implemented for AI on it, but IDK IF anyone is going to code that for the game interface? it is an older program for the 32 bit = system windows XP and such= woe but it is useable on the win10 with attention to settings and such. My unlock code is still good.=== they added a few more unlocks when I complained a few years ago.== I really like the way they implemented the AI for the game== Qyshinsu --- the person who made this game .. gave me a board and rules that he signed and such-- was very cool.. ,, I play against AI so much now. very interesting game.. better with real people. but yeah my favorite board game right now.=== I did like this game called byte I would play the person who made this game ,, online ,,, he was in california and I was here. we played on the checkerboard but going to play on the international 10x10 its difficulty is increased massively== In the end the guy who made the board had stopped playing me as --- I would win and it would drop his.. standing in the game..
=== I could not go forward with this == as no body really played me anymore.
=== I played with Mark mostly in 2006-9 about on a site that implemented this game.== these are the rules from 2005 --
http://www.marksteeregames.com/Byte_rules.pdf just questioning if that is ok to post the link to the game rules == IDK I am sure it is qualified in the ,,, guides for posting here.
== just talking on and on.. now no real direction or focus of random thoughts with what is on my mind.. keeping to topic.--
Sometimes, on my walks through town, I am craving for a bottle of red ink!
