When it comes to training calculation there are only two options:

Option 1 – to do what everyone else is doing. That involves solving truckloads of tactics, reading and watching games of tactical GMs.

I’m pretty sure you have solved & waded through 1000s of tactical exercises and watched GMs like Anand, Shirov, Kasparov, and other heavy-weights analyze their very best and most entertaining games.

Can you HONESTLY say that your tactical skills got better, your calculation got more efficient and your chess vision got sharper?

I bet NO, otherwise, you wouldn’t be here in search of a solid and reliable way to take your dynamic chess skills to the next level!

If you want to start calculating like a pro, go for Option 2…
