Improve Your Chess Calculation - R.B. Ramesh

This Improve Your Chess Calculation - R.B. Ramesh is an English-language chess training book focused on one of the most important skills in practical play: calculating variations accurately. It is aimed at players who want to turn chess knowledge into precise moves and make better decisions without relying on intuition alone.

R.B. Ramesh shows that strong calculation depends on work, concentration and clear visualisation, and that it can be improved through regular training. The book encourages you to solve positions on your own, without moving the pieces, so you develop both analytical skill and the discipline to think clearly during a game.

What you’ll find inside

GM R.B. Ramesh has included hundreds of exercises designed to expose the kinds of mistakes players often make when calculating variations. The material is arranged to build accuracy, tactical alertness and the ability to find the right move even when your first instinct points elsewhere.

This makes it a useful book for ambitious club players as well as more advanced chess players who want to organise their thinking at the board. It also works well for daily training and as a companion to coaching.

Author and recommendation

GM Ramesh is widely respected as a chess coach and has worked with many of India’s leading talents at different stages of their development. That coaching experience is reflected in the choice of exercises and in the way the reader is guided through the calculation process.

The book also quotes GM Daniel Naroditsky: “After only a month of intensive training with Ramesh, I could sense a seismic shift in both the precision of my calculation as well as my general level of sharpness.” It gives a good sense of what systematic work with this material is designed to support.
