Visualization Skills 101

I am embarking on a quest to improve my chess visualization. My travel map which will be used in increasing difficuly, will be to use the following materials:

1) ChessEye

2) Tactics for Students

3) Visualwise

Am I on the wrong path or is this the way to go... Is there any advice in learning chess visualization from scratch up to advanced levels?

Sorry but i dont know that.  But to my knowledge, try playing blindfolded chess.  Visualize as much as you can.  It will be hard at first but later you will improve.  Maybe you can also try by doing a simple puzzle (Look at the puzzle, close your eye and find the solution in your head).

1) is a mistake (i done it :-)), except if you want to play blind chess). Just read a book where there is a lot of exchange and try to be able to visualize the position 3 move after. Easy tactics is okay. And calculate with 2 moves checkmates puzzle (not tactics puzzle).

Dont know the first 2, but visualize is a good product.  I think your best bet is blind fold chess.

Thank you for all the feedback on this subject. :)

I will look forward to implementing blindfold chess into my daily chess routine...

Thanks :)
