Hi All

Any recommendations for advancing my calculating and visualization skills? 

What has helped with you guys? 

I really struggle to envision the board after calculating more than 2/3 moves. 

I'm making lots of mistakes while playing because of this. 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

Thanks very much.

Two things that helped me:

Chess Mazes by Bruce Alberston

And

Visualwize by chessfox.com (pricey but effective)

Study endgames.  Less pieces, and the board is uncluttered.
