Calculate Clearly & Make Fewer Blunders
in 30 Days
Stop guessing, stop panicking, and finally learn how to think clearly in real games —
even when the clock is ticking.
It has helped me almost erase the word “blunder” from my vocabulary.
Before taking this course, I was moving way too quickly and playing reaction chess instead of really thinking. The 30-day plan helped me slow down, see my options more clearly, and prioritize the most active move.
Does This Sound Like You?
- You do puzzles… but in real games your brain goes blank and the ideas disappear
- You blunder pieces or miss winning chances, then see everything only after the game is over
- You spend too much time calculating the wrong thing, panic under the clock, and make another mistake
- You’ve watched random videos, done endless puzzles, and still feel stuck at the same level
You’re not broken — you’ve just never been taught how to calculate properly in real games.
My biggest problem was calculation. After the course I was able to calculate quicker and deeper.
I am a hobby chess player with a 1700 rating, and my biggest problem was calculation. After the course I was able to calculate quicker and deeper. I also really liked the very instructive explanations and the coach’s enthusiasm.
I was doing puzzles, watching videos, and still blundering… until I discovered a calculation system that completely changed how I think.
I used to think calculation would improve automatically if I just did enough puzzles.
So I did what ambitious chess players usually do: more tactics, more videos, more games, more advice, more “training” that looked productive from the outside.
But in real games, it felt completely different:
- In puzzles, you know there is a trick. In a real game, you often don’t.
- I would calculate the wrong line for too long… then panic when the clock got low.
- Sometimes I saw the best move only after the game was over.
- And yes — I still made blunders I knew I “shouldn’t” be making.
Then I noticed something in my best games: I wasn’t calculating more moves than everyone else. I was following a clear process.
- Find the right candidate moves first
- Start with the most forcing ideas
- Calculate slowly and clearly instead of rushing
- Check the opponent’s resources before trusting your line
- Compare the best options instead of guessing
That was the breakthrough. Not random puzzle grinding. Not endless content. Structured calculation training.
I started training this process deliberately, one level at a time, and everything changed.
- My rating pushed past 2400
- I became an International Master
- I won the German U-25 Championship
- I got to play Fabiano Caruana at the World Rapid Team Chess Championship
And the best part is this: calculation is not some mystical talent. It can be trained — if you train it the right way.
That’s why I built the Calculation Course. You pause first and try to solve the position yourself. Then I calculate it aloud, slowly and clearly, and show you my full thought process.
Puzzle after puzzle. Level after level. Until you stop feeling lost, stop blundering so much, and finally start thinking more clearly in real games.
That’s what I want to help you do now.
The course helped me focus on the main aspects during the game and pay attention to the important steps.
My main struggle before taking the course was calculation and thinking about my opponent’s options. The course helped me a lot to focus on the main aspects during the game and learn how to pay attention to the important steps to improve my chess. The best thing for me was how simple and easy Yevhenii explains everything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is the Calculation Course for?
The Calculation Course is designed for players roughly in the 500–2200 Elo range.
It’s built as a level-by-level system, so you do not need to be “advanced” to benefit. You simply start at the level that matches your current strength and work upward from there.
I already do puzzles. Why would this help me more?
Because most players don’t need more puzzles. They need a better thinking process.
Random puzzle grinding often creates the illusion of progress without fixing what happens in real games. Here, you learn:
- How to choose the right candidate moves
- How to calculate forcing lines clearly
- How to check your ideas before you blunder
- How to think in a calm, repeatable way under pressure
Will this actually help me in real games, not just in puzzles?
Yes — that is the whole point of the course.
In puzzles, you already know there is “something there.” In real games, nobody tells you that. So this course trains the part most players are missing: how to think clearly when the answer is not obvious.
- Fewer rushed blunders
- Better decisions under time pressure
- More confidence in practical positions
How does the training actually work?
This is not a passive video course.
You’ll train using a simple but powerful format:
- Pause and try to solve the position yourself
- Then watch me calculate it slowly out loud
- Compare your thinking to my full International Master thought process
- Repeat this level by level until your own thinking becomes calmer and stronger
I’m older and my calculation feels slow. Is this still for me?
Yes — this course was built with adult players in mind.
In fact, many adult improvers don’t need more speed. They need more clarity, structure, and calm.
The training is broken down very simply, level by level, so you are never asked to jump into chaos far above your level.
How much time per day do I need?
If you want a strong 30-day push, aim for 30–60 minutes per day.
That is enough for:
- A short training block inside the course
- Your puzzle work
- One practical game or some light review
You can also go faster or slower. Your access is lifetime, so you are not forced to rush.
Do I get community access with the course?
Yes.
Your purchase includes community access, so you can share progress, stay accountable, and complete the challenge with other serious players instead of trying to do everything alone.
Do I keep access forever?
Yes — you get lifetime access to the full Calculation Course.
That means you can revisit earlier levels, repeat harder ones later, and keep using the course as your chess improves.
