- S2 Ep1: Season Two PREVIEWSeason Two: A previewA little chat about how things are going to go for Season Two.If you're here for the cute mate in 4 problem to visualise feel free to skip to 7:50.There's some background hubbub, especially at the start. There's an irritating clicking that keeps popping back up. It all sounds a bit echo-y (is that a word).In short, it sounds like somebody who got out of the habit of recording podcasts. But hey, sometimes you just have to do your best and put the results out there.Like and subscribe my friends.And don't forget to sign up to my newsletterInvisible Chess | Substackif you haven't already.Oh, and don't worry Covert Bethany fans.

About Invisible Chess
From the publisher's feed
Invisible Chess: A podcast dedicated to blindfold Chess & visualisation
Whether you're already an experienced blindfoldista or are brand new to this; whether you're a relative chess beginner or maybe even a master - this is a podcast that will have something for you.
HOST:
I'm Jonathan (GetBentLarsent on chess websites). I've been a serious chess player for 35 years, for several years a fulltime professional chess coach and a longtime fan of playing chess without sight of the board and pieces.
INVISIBLE CHESS:
This podcast will give you
training exercises and materials;
techniques and methods to play chess blindfold;
dedicated episodes aimed at beginners and newcomers;
suggestions and tips on how to create a blindfold chess training programme that will last because it fits in harmoniously with all your existing commitments - on the chessboard and away from it.
Perhaps most importantly, since the number one reason why chess players don't try blindfold chess training is the feeling that they will not be able to do it, Invisible Chess will help you build your motivation and belief that visualisation work can be for you.
