Starting from a position, a series of moves are listed. You must visualize each move in your head, then reconstruct the final position on the board from memory.
Pro tip: Focus on which pieces moved and where they ended up, not the order of moves.

About Position Reconstruction
Updating a position instead of memorising one
You start from a position, receive a list of moves, and have to place the final position on the board. It is the drill that separates static memory from dynamic memory. A recall exercise asks you to photograph a board and reproduce it. This one asks you to run a simulation: apply move one, apply move two, and keep the picture accurate through every update. That is precisely what a blindfold game demands, and it is a different muscle from remembering a snapshot.
The failure mode is trying to replay the whole sequence at the end, which compounds every small error. It is far more reliable to commit each move as it arrives and never look back, tracking only the squares that actually changed. Most moves touch two squares, so a ten-move sequence usually leaves the majority of the position untouched, and holding the delta is much cheaper than holding the whole board. Captures and castling are where people lose the thread, so slow down on those specifically. If holding the starting position is already hard, work on position memory first. When reconstruction feels solid, add a tactical goal at the end with blindfold puzzle moves or read the chess visualization guide.
