Stop Blundering! Master Calculation & Break 1000 ELO!

You’re not alone—and it’s a more common struggle than you might think.

Most players at this level don’t lose because of bad openings or lack of knowledge. The real problem usually lies in how they calculate. Without a clear process, even strong ideas get lost in the chaos of the position.

I’m Saro Khachatouri, a FIDE Instructor with over 12 years of coaching experience. I started chess relatively late myself and had to figure out a lot on my own, so I understand how frustrating that rating wall can feel. Over the years, I’ve worked with many adult improvers and club players, helping them develop practical calculation habits that actually show up in their games.

Topic: Calculation – Your Key to Blunder-Proof Chess
When: Sunday, June 29
Time: 12 PM EST
Duration: 90 minutes
Cost: $20
For: Players looking to get past 1000 and build real consistency

During this live session, we’ll walk through three of the most useful tools I use in coaching:

• The CCT/CCA framework (Check – Capture – Threat / Check – Capture – Answer) to avoid immediate tactical mistakes

• The Variation Tree, which gives you a clean mental structure for evaluating moves

• A simple system for spotting Candidate Moves and comparing them meaningfully

This isn’t about memorizing lines—it’s about making better decisions, with more confidence, in every game you play.

There’ll be plenty of examples, interactive exercises, and time for questions at the end.
