You see the position of a square by looking at a chessboard, but it is difficult to visualize the position in your head in the beginning.
Don't worry! Visualization training with rook enables you to visualize the position of a square instantly.
For example, How do you visualize the c5-square in your head?
First, visualize the c-file.
Next, visualize the fifth rank.
The intersection of the file and rank is the c5-square.
I recommend visualizing a rank first, then a file because the numbers are easier to locate. However, getting used to visualization helps you to visualize the position of any squares instantly. Ideally, you will be able to find it intuitively rather than visualize it. For example, Where does the a1-h8 diagonal go through on the board? I am sure that you do not have to visualize it.
You can play Coordinates on lichess. That trains to visualize the position of a square.
Compare how much your score will change before and after you train visualization on this website.
Coordinates
I think your score as white is higher than the score as black, but training on this website will improve your score as black.
