GM Stopa has put together a quick 3-hour course addressing this exact issue, and in it, he shares a unique method for training yourself to calculate like a very strong player.
GM Jacek Stopa Reveals…
Calculation is one of the most important skills in chess, yet the toughest to nail down.
It’s simple. You miscalculate, you lose.
And according to Polish GM Jacek Stopa, you need to make small calculations on almost EVERY move…
…and DEEP calculations in a few critical positions. In EVERY game.
Club players regularly throw away games caused by this secret weakness where they make a move that looks good intuitively, but which cannot be backed up with calculation, because simply…
…they are TERRIBLE at calculating! Know the feeling?
Here’s the solution though.
GM Stopa has put together a quick 3-hour course addressing this exact issue, and in it, he shares a unique method for training yourself to calculate like a very strong player.
It is the method masters use and will improve your practical strength a TON.
What’s Inside?
- How to INSTANTLY recognize the key elements (patterns) of any position. Learn how to have the “eagle eye” and spot the unprotected piece, weak back rank, unsafe king or whatever…faster than you ever imagined was your potential!
- How masters use tactical knowledge to speed up calculation. You’ll discover a clever method for using forcing moves and tactical motifs to simplify calculation and not only speed it up, but make it deeper as well!
- Why solving compositions as training results in MUCH deeper calculation. What’s the secret to Kasparov-like 15 moves ahead chess vision? Solving compositions!…BUT only with the “weird” method you’ll learn in Chapter 6:Complex Compositions!
This knowledge (and the training method you’ll use) is how the average player makes that jump to a 1900 or 2000 Rating…They learn to literally SEE things faster…
