I think its very helpful when you are trying to make a plan in the board. Because you can have more control on what is happening in the position you are playing, not just by seeing squares. But by seeing coordinates
Do chess masters use notation while calculating a move?
If you need help, please contact our Help and Support team.
I have seen many chess masters do that. They think like, "bishop takes e5, knight takes e5, f6, g3..."
When I am playing a game, I seem to just look at the board and not verbalize the moves that much.
Is it a part of chess practice? Does it help?
