Role of "Vision" exercises in Chess Study
Sort:
I don't think vision has a direct improvement towards your chess skill. You can probably read chess books easier and stuff like that, or write notation down in otb tournaments, but yeah I don't think vision helps much at all.

I do notice that higher rated players use square ID when analyzing moves. IE: Nxd4, Qxd4 etc. I wonder if it helps when analyzing positions in live chess?

I only just noticed "Vision" as an option today in the phone app. Tried out the square identifying version and the moves version. It was fun. Question is how much time should I spend on this?
I will be on holidays soon from mid November to end of January and during that time I plan to spend maybe 2 hours a day on chess study for fun so I can try and break out of 900s and into the 1000+ range consistently. How much of this should be "Vision"?
I was thinking of doing something like 30min tactics,break, 30 min lessons, break, 30 min videos, break, 30 min games. Then maybe analyse my games using the chess.com engine for feedback.
How would you reshuffle that to include "Vision" if at all?
