Hi guys, just in case you are a bit stuck about this chess trainer, don't worry that there's no pieces
on the board.
Now when we click Start Training it says G6.
So G6.
We're from the white perspective here.
So G6 is actually this.
We've scored a point so f3 h6, d4 a6.
It helps you get a feel for coordinates, which is going to make lectures much easier later when I make
reference to the move the coordinates on the chessboard so you can see that, uh, you know, you can
get faster and faster at this.
So I've got 17 there.
I can try playing again.
But if you want to add to the challenge, you can also have it from the black perspective.
This is just from the white perspective.
It's good to know your coordinates.
This is really going to help your chess training in general and also your your visualization skills
during an actual game could be enhanced as well that you have a better grasp of where things are basically
on the chessboard, especially color training.
So here I've improved the score, but we can take it from if we click black, it's now from.
You can see that there's an outline around black where on Black's perspective, if we play again this
is from Black's perspective.
So it's not h4.
This would be a mistake.
Naught at one h4 from Black's perspective is here.
Sorry, was that g2 from Black's perspective is here d8 f3.
We're talking from Black's perspective now, so this is from Black's perspective.
So yes, from white and black perspective.
Train from the white and black perspective.
So I hope you're getting the idea here.
We're getting the coordinates from the black perspective okay.
So that's from black perspective.
So you've got white perspective or black perspective.
We can also do color training.
So basically if we do color training and click play again.
So H6.
Now this is from White's from White's perspective.
H6 okay is a dark square.
E7 is a dark square.
H5 is a light square.
E1 is a dark square.
Because are white.
E1 is.
E1, so I got e1 incorrect saying it was a light square.
Let's let's look at the board from a white perspective.
E1 is a dark square.
So you can see I've got room for improvement.
Let's let's try the colors again.
Let's try the color training again.
So okay.
So color training is another aspect here.
And as you can see I so let's try and improve the score.
So G3 is a dark square.
D4 is.
I don't square.
B6 is a dark square.
C3 is a dark square.
G3 is.
I don't square again.
D7.
Okay, so I was more successful there.
Okay.
So yeah.
Have fun with this.
Coordinates and color training is really going to help.
Now, one thing in case you're wondering about the colors, what you can do is visualize your dark square
bishop, visualize it, you know, going across these squares.
And you can do the same for the light square bishop.
If you're stuck like G2, think about the light square Bishop is on F1.
If you remember the light square bishops on F1, you can sort of deduce that all of these are light
squares g2 and h3.
So f1, e2, d3.
These are all light squares.
So yeah, just think about your bishops for example on C1 and F1 if you're really stuck and eventually
you'll be more intuitive about it.
So think about the bishops or the queen is sitting on its own color light square.
So all of these are light squares.
If you're tested you know H5.
What's the color of h5?
So you don't have to like work out.
Like you can get a more intuitive feeling for the color of the squares.
If you think about your queen on the light square and then where it would go, bounce around or your
dark square bishop how it would bounce around or your light square bishop how this would bounce around.
So if you're tested on see8, you know, that's like a light square bishop.
It's got access to the C8.
Or, you know, if you remember that Black's light square bishop is on c8, Black's dark square bishop
is on f8.
So if we do color training again, I'll just show you that in action.
So we're going to play again on the.
So here G1.
Well our light square bishop is on F1.
So G1 is a dark square G8.
The dark square bishop is on f8.
So G8 is a light square because it's next to it.
It's going to be different.
So B1 our dark square bishop is on C1.
So B1 is a light square.
So B1 okay.
So again light square that that was very helpful wasn't it.
To get some bonus points there e5.
So anyway, so I hope you get the idea.
If you do this training it's going to really improve your instincts for coordinates for color of squares.
But you can also do visualization training.
And if you want to get into visualization I do have a detailed course on visualization training where
actually this amazing resource was created for that later.
This was after I'd actually created this beginner course for you, but I realize that this is an absolutely
amazing resource at this point in your training in this beginner course to get a feel for the chessboard.
So, you know, if we go back to coordinate training, you know, white or black perspective, and then
we've got the color training.
So I really hope you get the most out of this and build up your scores.
It's all private.
It's not stored to any database or anything.
So, you know, just just it's up to you to use it without any embarrassment.
There's no embarrassment.
It's nothing's recorded.
So, you know, it doesn't matter if you get zero all the time, you know, build up your scores, get
your confidence around the chessboard.
So I hope you have a lot of fun with this facility.
And I believe it will be super useful.
And also for your playing skills as well.
Not just understand the lectures much easier, but actually your playing skills, your visualization
skills for the chessboard in your mind's eye.
Okay, thanks so much.
