Big Hammer chess board vision drill | An absolute must for chess players rated under 1800 FIDE

An enhanced chess vision drill developed by Chazz (Mazza) inspired by Michael de La Maza's concentric squares drill from his book Rapid Chess Improvement.

If you're under 1800 FIDE, you could likely benefit from some deliberate chess board vision practice.

I really like this drill developed by Chazz!

Here are the squares for each piece (with the black king on d5):
The exercise is to place the white queen on each square it can safely and successfully capture these pieces on these squares.

b1,3,7
c1,2,8
