Description

Recordings of the training camp on the foundations of effective calculation in chess with GM Jacob Aagaard.

The themes include, but not be limited to:

• The purpose of decision making

• Defining calculation

• Intuition and calculation – the two thinking methods

• Slow down!

• Visualization

• When should you calculate

• When should you stop calculating

• Impulse control

• Resistance

• Long variations – what are they good for?

• Common mistakes

• Calculation mistakes from famous grandmasters

Although a lot of the themes in the camp will be familiar to the members of our academy already, it will use material that has not previously been used in the academy or published in books.
