I read:
"In fact, chess players do not really “visualize” future positions in the sense
of a detailed mental image, such having a picture of the board in one's head,
but they are able to calculate long series of moves."

I do not believe it.
How is it possible to play blindfold without having a picture of the board in
your head?

How is it possible to see that the queen is under threat by a bishop without
seeing fast the squares that the bishop control.

In games with board there is no problem because I can see that the bishop threat
the queen in one second but without a board I do not see the squares in the same
diagnol as the bishop(I may calculate them but without a picture it will take me
many seconds to see that the bishop threats the queen even if I remember the
squares of the bishop and the queen).
