Hi,
Just a short update on ‘Blindfold Opening Visualization’. I have finished the draft with all 100 puzzles fully annotated! I’m really excited about it!
I had planned to send out 10 puzzles at the time without the solutions, but I have decided that I will instead send the whole book out, and hopefully, some of you will send comments/feedback to me before publication on Amazon.
I think the digital detox has helped me to channel some of my energy towards finishing the draft.
The next step is to set up the whole book so it will look like this:

1. d4 d5 2. ♗f4 ♘f6 3. ♘c3 ♘c6 4. e3 4. ♗f5 5. a3 e6 6. ♘f3 ♗d6 7. ♘e5 ♘xe5
White to move

1. d4 d5 2. ♗f4 ♘f6 3. ♘c3 ♘c6 4. e3 (4. ♘b5 the mainline) 4... ♗f5 5. a3 e6 6. ♘f3 ♗d6 7. ♘e5 ♘xe5?? O-O is the best move
Solution: 8. dxe5! with the double attack on the Knight and Bishop!
All this editing will be a bit of a pain in the ***, but hopefully, the result will shine in the end.
10 edited, 90 to go…
Best,
Martin
