In this two-volume course GM Ganguly turns calculation into a trainable skill with a structured path for any level.

What’s different: idea-first training (by thinking tools, not random puzzles); tournament mindset (treat every task like a real game); scalable practice (10 minutes or a full session); practical methods (visualization, blind training, decision routines); honest coaching (no miracles - just habits that raise your ceiling).

Volume 2 - Advanced Practice & Tournament Simulation: Stress-test your skills with attack & defense labs, long calculations (8-12 moves deep), and imaginative positions that reveal hidden resources. Mixed tests simulate real-game pressure - no hints, just decisions. Learn how psychology, emotion, and mindset influence calculation, with anecdotes from GM Ganguly’s own battles against elite players.

Who is it for?
• Club players who want a clear, progressive path to better calculation.
• Ambitious improvers who prefer methods over miracles.
• Tournament players who need game-realistic training to cut blunders and convert advantages.

Ready to make better decisions at the board - consistently?
Train the skill that never goes out of style.
