Welcome to CVT !

People tend to lose "sight" when calculating the moves in their heads.
When making a search for "blindfold chess" on the internet you soon find
information that one of the most important advances in your chess life is
to master the art of visualisation. That's why there is this website.
By the way: CVT online is free :-) and an offline version is also available.

Read more about visualization in chess from IM Salinnikov here.

NEWS 15. October '05:

Online training with a Master Coach is one of the best ways to improve your game.
I was able to get a special discount for users of the CVT website with
Chess Teacher GM Viktor Gavrikov. To get more information click here.

NEWS 13. May .'04:

Yesterday was a very "cool" day !
I attended the Kramnik vs Leko World Chess Championship Press Conference.
Take a look at my report here in Chess Today - the first daily chess newspaper.

NEWS 05. May .'04:

Today we are finally launching "The Chess Eye".
Our shareware offline version of this site. Please give it a try.

We are looking for translators now, so far "The Chess Eye"
is in English, German, Turkish and Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.
Please let us know if you like to help
by translating into another language.
Write to chesseye@janmatthies.info

Take the time

If you are new to chess I recommend: Chessmaster teaches you in a nice multimedia way from scratch the rules, strategic principles, openings, endings..... IM Josh Waitzkin goes through his games with you and you are tested in a lot of quizzes to keep track of your learning progress. You'll be busy for a long time to work through all lectures. Once you are finished I bet you have a rating of at least 1750. In the teaching area Chessmaster is a lot better than Fritz !
