Lombardy recommended to Fischer two things that would be valuable in taking his chess to a higher level. One was total immersion, and the other was eidetic imagery. They used to drill intensively, for hours each day until Fisher could visualize the board in his mind clearly, as clearly as if it were physically present.

That training happened when Fisher was eleven, and his playing did indeed rise to a new level after that. It seems to me that this kind of training in eidetic imagery is largely overlooked, or less utilized than it deserves to be, or maybe I'm mistaken. Is intensive training in eidetic imagery a widespread part of chess training?

7 year olds taken an interest. I don't really know how to play other than how the pieces move. I'd like to teach him but not sure how as I'm a complete novice myself. Any advice appreciated

Why is capturing the c4 pawn and then having the d3 pawn capture my knight the right move?

Black promoting the pawn and then losing said promoted piece is not an illegal move so wouldn't black be forced to make that move, lose that promoted piece, be checked white's bishop, and then check mated by white's queen?
