To Jchess92 -- Unfortunately it seems that asking a serious and interesting question here is a waste of time. I, too, would like to hear an answer by someone who could reasonably respond.
There really are some helpful and knowledgeable people who respond to serious questions, but it seems like they are being discouraged by the jerks.
Practice moving the knight starting from a1 to b1, c1, d1, e1, f1, g1, h1 looking at a blank board. Once you do it without difficulty do it in your head. Sounds silly but it works well.

Not sure what is so difficult to understand about that. Ok, so you not understand English that is fine, or maybe you don't know how knight moves. Simple, you go to Google and solve the problem!

Perhaps as I suspect your English is below the par for this. Let me use more simple wording. Take knight from a1 square, and move knight to the b1 square using the knight L shape movement. This takes several moves for the knight to complete, a1 to c2, then from c2 to a3, then a3 to b1. I would hope your understanding is well enough to get this. If not, perhaps a basic course in English or chess is needed.
The OP has played
Anyone want to guess what the problem is?
bE nIcE KaY . while others are playing chess. learning is moving a imaginary knight around a imaginary blank board in his head , he obviously has a very low IQ and may even be mildly retarded
I have trouble telling the difference between the pieces, I often try to move a knight diagonally or move a rook in an L shape maybe I should go back to playing hopscotch..
HMM... i wonder which piece would be best suited to play hopscotch
@Learning2mate: Now you can see what I was talking about back in item 3. Give a helpful answer and get ridiculed by the local clowns. Too bad clowns aren't even funny these days.
as long as serious question is asked i will give honest answer to help lift others to better performance. when i understand one is trying to entertain themselves with ridiculing me i try to give them the respect i can and leave them be. i prefer to avoid wasting my time. my answer will be welcomed by those who are honest seekers, and apparently also provides a source of entertainment for others. only good comes from my given words. may your mind perform better as hoped.

I have a problem with piece visualization in which when I'm calculating I'll visualize a piece moving to a square but I can't visualize it going there completely. I also have a problem with when I'm calculating and visualizing a piece moving to a sqaure I'm unsure where the piece moved and have to keep redoing my calculations over and over again which is very frustrating. I notice that the more moves I'm calculating ahead the harder the uncertainty with where the piece moves becomes. My coaches said you have to keep working on it but I was wondering if you had a quicker solution (but keep in mind that that may not be the case b/c I understand that in chess, progress may take a long time) I've tried my own ways with these problems but they don't really work such as visualizing a piece moving to a square then holding the position in my mind for something like 8 seconds then the next move and so forth. The next issue is with certainty when counting the pieces in a position. What'll happen is I'll count the pieces for each side and then a moment later and also a good amount of time later I'll be uncertain how many pieces there are in a position. This happens during solving chess problems and playing games and is a real nuisance where I'll count over and over again. The next issue has to do with seeing checkmate and stalemate. What's happening is I can't tell whether I should be seeing stalemate and checkmate at a glance e.g a queen giving checkmate one square in front, behind, or sideways protectected by a piece (that comes second nature to me) or if I should be seeing that if during a checkmate I should be seeing if the king can't go to any of the available squares e.g after 1. e4 g5 2. d4 f6 3. Qh5 # I'll spend a lot of time checking to see if the king has any escape squares I say in my mind the king can't go to f7 because the queen controls that square. As you can imagine I'd do better at blitz or speed chess or long games in which I have low time on my clock in which I'm trying to spot a checkmate. Thanks
