Calculation principles

Dear Chess Friends,

If you feel that you don't calculate properly and you don't have a concrete method for that, I highly recommend my article about 'Calculation principles' here:

If it's still not so clear after reading the article, don't hesitate to write to me in private.

Good luck with your games!

ok

Nice!!

Hi what do you suggest to break the barrier to 1900 and 2000? Awesome article by the way thanks for the post

Hi 2022SRT,

Thank you for your kind words. Well, everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one given way to learn and improve.

First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analyzing your own games. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem is that it can't explain to you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why it is so good or bad.

In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames) and if you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.

If you would like to learn more about chess, you can take private lessons from me (you find the details on my profile) or you can visit my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), where you can learn about every kind of topics. I've just started this channel and I'm planning to upload 3-4 new videos per week, so you can get 5-8 hours of educational contents every month for only 20 USD/month. I think it's a pretty fair deal.

I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck with your games!

Thanks for taking time out of your day for the response! Going to study all my games and definitely will consider the patreon as well. Cheers!
