What are the most important tools we need for calculating variations? In this book acclaimed author Jacob Aagaard gives his suggestions and explains with great clarity exactly which ideas are the crucial, and which are mainly helpful, starting with the chapter "Before you can think, you need to learn how to see." Building on known theoreticians like Kotov and Dvoretsky, Aagaard uses his reader-friendly style to make the simple essential ideas grandmasters use in their game remain simple for the reader to understand. The 100 exercises in the end of the book will help the reader improve his calculation in practice as well.
