As part of an effort to provide a framework for the advancement and development of chess skills in young children and beginners an experiment was undertaken to determine how the visual scanning of a chess board differs between weaker and better players. The ELO rating system was used as an independent variable in a series of chess problems that were presented to chess players on a Tobii eye-tracker system. >It was found that stronger players perceive more squares with a single fixation and that they spend less time to inspect each square than weaker players. Also, the number of squares that are revisited is, at least for easier problems, significantly lower for players of higher strength. It appears that gaze patterns differ for more challenging problems.>>> af++
