I just think about what moves they may make from what I can physically see. It works well enough but I'm not good at chess. That's most likely my ADHD working against me though not the aphantasia. Maybe both lol.

Speaking of ADHD, I've been into chess lately and have found it to be a really good way to practice extending my focus and not taking mental shortcuts, like I'm prone to do.
