Verbessern Sie Ihre Variantenberechnung im Schach by Jacob Aagaard

This Improve Your Calculation in Chess by Jacob Aagaard is a German-language chess training book focused on one of the most important practical skills at the board: accurate calculation. It shows how to sharpen your analysis in real play, avoid common mistakes and make better decisions when a position demands precise reading of the next moves.

This is a book for players who know the frustration of turning a winning position into a missed chance through one calculation error. Jacob Aagaard starts from a very practical problem: many players keep returning to the same lines, lose time and still overlook the key detail. His point is clear — calculation is not just a matter of talent, but a skill that can be learned and trained systematically.

What this book covers

Aagaard leads the reader through the main methods of calculation in chess and presents them in a clear, structured way. Instead of broad slogans, you get concrete guidance on how to strengthen your calculation, organise your analysis and reduce mistakes caused by haste, tournament pressure or mental clutter.

The book is especially useful because it is built for active work, not just reading. It ends with 100 exercises so you can test and reinforce the techniques straight away. It was published as a companion to the ChessBase training disc “Richtig Entscheiden”.
