In this lesson, GM Igor Smirnov reveals the truth about calculation in chess — and how you can start calculating like a GM without spending endless minutes on every move.
Most chess players calculate either too little (missing key tactics) or too much (wasting precious time on useless lines). *The real secret? Knowing exactly what to calculate, and when to stop.*
👉 In this video, GM Igor Smirnov will teach you:
✅ The 5 powerful rules grandmasters use to calculate efficiently
✅ How to identify the most important candidate moves instantly
✅ What NOT to calculate (so you don’t waste time)
✅ How to spot your opponent’s best moves and hidden resources
✅ Practical examples where just one accurate sequence decides the game
You’ll learn how to focus only on the variations that matter, visualize clearly, and avoid the mental traps that cause most blunders. With this structured approach, you’ll play faster, cleaner, and stronger moves — without draining your clock.
If you’ve ever wondered “How do grandmasters think?”, this lesson gives you the blueprint.
