Calculation Step by Step: A Grandmaster’s Training Guide Vol. 2 - Advanced Practice - DOWNLOAD

If one skill decides more games, it’s calculation. Openings fade, plans change—but seeing clearly, comparing lines, and choosing with confidence wins points. In this two-volume course, GM Ganguly turns calculation into a trainable skill with a structured path for any level. You won’t just solve tactics; you’ll learn how to think: where to start, which branches to explore, when to stop, and how to keep a crystal-clear mental board under pressure.

What’s different: idea-first training (by thinking tools, not random puzzles); tournament mindset (treat every task like a real game); scalable practice (10 minutes or a full session); practical methods (visualization, blind training, decision routines); honest coaching (no miracles - just habits that raise your ceiling).

Volume 2 - Advanced Practice & Tournament Simulation: Stress-test your skills with attack & defense labs, long calculations (8-12 moves deep), and imaginative positions that reveal hidden resources. Mixed tests simulate real-game pressure - no hints, just decisions. Learn how psychology, emotion, and mindset influence calculation, with anecdotes from GM Ganguly’s own battles against elite players.
