Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	One of the fundamental skills a chess player needs
	to have is the ability to visualize the board. By
	this I don't mean that one has something like a
	picture of a board in their mind's eye - that may
	or may not be the case.* Rather, it's the ability
	to mentally maintain and manipulate the position in
	a way that allows the efficient and accurate
	calculation and evaluation of variations. How does
	one cultivate this skill? As kids say, or at least
	used to: Duh! The answer is to practice,
	obviously....
