    Wonderful video of understanding the basics of calulation by elimination.  I appreciate the approach of understanding the essense or summary of a position  to reach the best position.  Very critical in end-game, of course, but helpful at any point in the game.  Once you know your move limitations and your opponents limitation and why, you can make the correct decision.

  • The Technique of Calculation - Part 5

    by GM Melikset Khachiyan

    Today Melik continues his series on the different process and approaches one can take to "solve" tricky, critical positions. He focuses on how to calculate logically and use "process of elimination" calculation techniques to arrive a the correct answer. He first reviews an interesting game with fellow author WGM Abrahamyan, and then moves onto a few puzzles that illustrate his points. Enjoy!
