You tend to remember the positions. However, you don't use your visualization and imagination.

I don't get it. How are you not using visualization or imagination?

When you move the pieces you are not developing ability to play/follow blindfold.

but you don't move your pieces when you're just looking at VERY SPECIFIC Positions on the board though. You don't have to move the pieces once it's set up.

You exercise your arms and hands more when you use an actual board imo.

Do you think it would be beneficial to wear wrist weight to accelerate the process of strenghtening your arms and hands while analyzing chess games on a real board?

riv, for a guy who takes chess so seriously.  You would think your rating would be alot better.  I barely play chess, yet my highest ratings in around 1450.  You must be mentally hopeless if you take it this seriiously, yet have such a poor rating. hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd be in your position too if I had poor impulse control. Your trolling on this thread was completely unwaranted. Not sure why someone who hasn't achieved anything in life is making comparisons.

I'd be pretty mad too if I played like that and lost and my opponent wouldn't give me a rematch.
