Many chess players have problem concentrating on a current position during the game. There are
many distracting factors that negatively affect player’s ability to fully concentrate. There is no surprise
that if a player cannot fully concentrate on the position he will most likely miscalculate, make a
mistake and lose the game. Today we will learn about 3 simple, but very effective exercises that will
help you to improve the concentration ability.
Exercise 2: Tic-Tac-Toe
Have you ever wondered how this simple game can help your chess? In fact, it can greatly enhance some of the very vital skill COMING SOON!
needed for high level chess. For this exercise two chess players play blindfolded Tic-Tac-Toe visualizing the board. The third person
acts as a referee, recording all moves on a piece of paper. Not only this exercise helps to build the concentration skills, but it also
improves your general visualization, something that many chess players are severely lacking.
Tip: you can use something similar to algebraic notation to call the moves. After 3x3 board game becomes too simple, you can
repeat with 4x4 and 5x5.
When that becomes too simple you can add few pawns on the board. The pawns cannot not be captures and the king cannot step
on squares already occupied by the pawns.

Hi Vincent. Concentration has nothing to with blinking. The goal of the exercise is to keep your thoughts focused on a
single thing - seconds hand of the clock.
