This document describes a mind exercise involving memorizing the positions of chess pieces on a board. The exercise begins simply, with locating the positions of 3 white and 3 black pawns after viewing the board for only 15 seconds. As the exercise progresses, more pieces will be added to make it more difficult. This basic memory exercise is meant to be practiced for at least 30 minutes daily to train and challenge the mind.

The next exercise may seem at first a bit obvious.
Not a puzzle, not a problem to solve, not
about techniques or tactics, or middle game, endgames and openings. This is what we might call Mind Exercises. Mind Training. They seem to be at first, quite easy to make. But as we increase the difficulty of the exercises, we will realize how little we exploit our brain capacity. In the beginning, let's start with simple exercises, as seen in diagram 1. Must be placed six pawns, three white and three black. Located randomly on the chessboard by another person, and are covered with a dark cloth (diagram 2). After this, we must approach to the board and the other person will leave us see the pieces where they are located, just 15 seconds. The board will be covered again and we will write down where the pieces were located box. For example: Black d2, h4, g7 White: b3, c7, e5. (diagram 3) After this we will compare our annotation to the actual position of the pieces. As it seems it is quite simple, but as we go placing more pieces, the exercise will become more complicated and will be increasingly more difficult for our minds. We begin with the pawns, and as we progress, we will be adding more and more pieces (diagram 4). This exercise should be practiced at least half an hour every day. (By Markus Strommer)
