How to stop Missed calculation?

Hi, guys hope you were having a great day :) .

My question is the following one : how can you avoid missing things when calculating. Sometimes, for example when calculating a line, I said to myself : My king can (only) go to c7, which is losing, but in reality, my king could capture an hanging pawn on b7, right in front of him !

This kind of thing never happens when I see the board in front of me, but when visualizing it can happen, quite fast. Sometimes, I can consider some moves which aren't legal (because of a pin piece/guarded square...etc), when calculating and this is a bit annoying.

Any tips or advices to give me guys ?

Thanks for the replies : - ) .

Well, calculation mainly improves with practice, but there are methods (such as Kotov's) that can help you calculate better. I recommend you search for these, they are great.

You will never be able to calculate without missing a move from time to time. Just practice a lot until you get better. If you have plenty of time always double check and see is your move the only option in the position.

Even engines miss, so you can’t avoid that. By seeing patterns over and over you can reduce it.
