Is this a chess book you would consider?

It's book teaching how to remember your chess openings. Its aim is to save time spent memorizing by introducing various methods and techniques.

Is it a book you would consider? Would it be useful? Would it be worth it? Would it solve a problem for you?

I have no interest in memorizing opening lines, but I would be interested in improving my ability to memorize and visualize positions. My job requires a lot of close-in computer work so it can be hard to play or study chess from a screen or book. I enjoy chess endgame studies and have started trying to fix a position in my mind to visualize variations while walking, running, riding public transportation, etc.

The book targets a problem with an interesting premise, but it's a high-risk due to unknown author and lack of track record. Personally I wouldn't bet my entire opening preparation on it without seeing evidence it works. Consider checking out J. Holden's "The Chess Memory Palace" first, with similar concepts but from an author with more visibility and potentially more credibility. Ciao

1. Believe it or not I actually spoke to Holden and others long before he published his book. I actually gave him ideas in an online forum.

Here's a screenshot from 2022: 

2. I'm actually ranked in the top 100 memory athletes on memory league.

3. I'm a stronger chess player than Holden. I've been playing chess for a long time and my account has been here for over 10 years.

4. I also made an app to practice chess memorization :

5. Just yesterday I was competing in games with some of the best memorizers online with these scores:

I do know what I'm talking about. I've been discussing these ideas way back in the day. Some people picked up on them.

always good to learn from stronger opponents , thank you Lunika 🥹🔥

With all due respect, Sir, I believe the entire concept of attempting to memorize countless openings and immerse strategies is not fundamentally flawed. While it may provide temporary benefits, it is not the ideal approach.

It may offer some initial assistance, but it is quite cumbersome and fails to consider the broader perspective. The true goal is to immerse oneself in complete settings and react instinctively to ever-changing circumstances.

This alternative is demonstrated in this excellent book:
