I would appreciate it if anybody rated 1800-2200 FIDE or USCF would tell me how deep they can accurately calculate in a classical game. Also please specify whether your answer is full moves or ply.

As 2000 USCF, depending on how forced the line is, probably 4-5 moves on average.

Too many blunders caused by not seeing far enough or missing a decisive move right after I end my calculations.

Your answer seems like the most fair.Do you do this for every move or in critical positions.My problem in middle games is that there are so many options for my opponent that i do not know which variation to calculate.
