How to Improve Chess Vision

1. ) Take a chess puzzle books of your level, e.g. this book :

1001 Winning Chess Sacrifices and Combinations


http://www.amazon.com/1001-Winning-Chess-Sacrifices-Combinations/dp/0879801115

Note : this puzzles are for players with 1500 elo and above.


2.) Aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 64 days, so that means do about 16 puzzles a day.  The correct way to do this is, start with the first few puzzles of every topic.  Do not finish the puzzles topic by topic.  In that way, you start from the easy puzzles and work your way up the difficulties. 

3.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 32 days, so that means do about 32 puzzles a day.

4.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 16 days, so that means do about 62 puzzles a day.

5.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 8 days, so that means do about 124 puzzles a day.

6.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 4 days, so that means do about 248 puzzles a day.

7.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 2 days, so that means do about 500 puzzles a day.

8.) Then,  aim to finish the 1001 puzzles in 1 days, so that means do about 1001 puzzles a day.

The purpose is to speed up pattern recognition in as short time as possible.
