Additional capabilities
When you learn the Trick, you get some Additional Capabilities for free:
- you start to see the beauty of chess
- you can visualize a variation once you have formulated the logical narrative
- you prune the tree of analysis which leads to speeding up your thinking dramatically
All without any extra effort. I refrained from adding examples, since chess diagrams tend to distract chess players from the essence of what is being said.
UPDATE
I realized that it is not so easy to copy the Trick. After all, it took me 26 years to rid myself of all confusion. We talk about educating System 1. And System 1 and System 2 don't speak the same language. They don't communicate directly.
Furthermore, there are a lot of methods out there that worked for their inventor, but not for almost everybody else. Since the inventors left out some crucial information concerning System 1, while their Systems 2 added confusing and redundant extra ideas.
So is often visualization added, and the necessity to find the solution yourself. Which is a total waste of time, energy and fun. Speed is added, which is totally counter productive. Speed is a consequence, not a method.
Since you are educating System 1, you must learn to recognize the special flavor that is released when you are aligned.
