Calculation Step by Step: A Grandmaster’s Training Guide Vol 2 - Advanced Practice, Surya Ganguly (English)
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.
