? You could just think of a random square, say e4 then ask yourself what

? Then you could try moving a knight around the board into the four corners
? in your head whilst doing the house work or some other mundane task.
? Followed by the same task but with a few strategic pawns placed on your
? imaginary board.

To see how far the best players need/try to see, have a read of Dvoretsky's School of Chess Excellence 2: Tactical Play. He's been coach to the best so you see what they've been through.
