Secrets of variant calculation

Calculating variations is a topic that is initially much less chess-specific than, for example, chess tactics with its motifs such as double attacks, distractions, etc. Calculating variations is about developing skills that are also relevant in other areas of life, e.g. how to use the available resources efficiently in the decision-making process or what to do with your emotions in a stressful situation. And yet the technique of correctly calculating variations is without question the be-all and end-all of every master player. Anyone who has analyzed their own games with Fritz knows what reserves lie dormant here! On this DVD, International Master Michael Richter familiarizes you with all the important elements of calculating variations: from finding and calculating candidate moves to the correct calculation rhythm and typical errors in thinking that often arise from emotional overestimation or underestimation of your own position. To ensure that you get the most out of this training course, Michael Richter gives you a clearly structured scheme that takes into account all the aspects important for calculating variations and that you can adapt to your own needs and abilities. The DVD also includes a collection of 200 practice positions to print out and practice on the board. Video playing time: 4 hours 40 minutes.
