Improve Your Chess Calculation: The Ramesh Chess Course - Volume 1

Excellent book for chess lovers.

Very good book, can improve our games drastically.

Nice one and very informative

The book is very very useful for players all levels of understanding of the game. One suggestion - in respect of diagrams having Black to Play puzzles, the board may be flipped upside down for easy grasping.

Really tough for an intermediate player, I have a grandmaster friend and even he finds it quite tough. Engine like precision and branching out in calculation is required. Still good to have in your collection of chess books.

Book has a lot of wrong information

Many a reviewer has stated that this book is for all levels of players but this is simply not true. The author states that LEVEL 1 problems are for players rated between 1200 and 1600 and Level 5 problems are for players rated 2600 and above. There are around 180 positions of which few are LEVEL 1. Also there are few positions which are LEVEL 6. The book is excellent for those who wish to reach the expert level and beyond. One of my friends who has achieved three International Master norms and is rated 2392 told me that some of the positions are unsolvable over the board there being a labyrinth of myriad of variation. However the book is excellent a good point being not all positions are straight forward tactics and somepoditions may even be unclear.

not interested this product and it is not useful for me and hard copy required this is the reason why not required this one

Very deep analysis

Ce livre (en anglais) vous aidera à améliorer vos calculs aux échecs. A travers de nombreux exercice de diverses difficultés, il vous permettra de vous entrainer et ainsi d'améliorer vos calculs avec des situations originales et diverses. Les solutions sont bien expliquées avec du contexte quand nécessaire. Attention ce livre n'est pas destiné aux débutants, je pense qu'un certain niveau est nécessaire pour pouvoir profiter un maximum de ce livre. Les exercices les plus simple sont tout de même assez dur et les plus durs sont vraiment (vraiment !) très durs. Pour référence, je suis amateur (environ 1300 elo) et j'ai été incapable de résoudre une bonne partie des exercices. Je recommande pour toute personne cherchant à améliorer ses calculs aux échecs !

I've been playing chess about a year, I'm an adult improver, and felt I've not been getting better. But, now that I have this book outlining the thought process of moves and calculating, I feel empowered greatly that as I read this, it'll assimilate into my thoughts during games, and help me win. It feels like a weapon that I'm so glad I found. I will say, that it required some getting used to, an genuine effort to read the variations. But, that initial hurdle once conquered in myself, I found that I was greatly enjoying my time with this lovely book. I'd like to thank RB Ramesh for writing it, and as the text indicates at various times that "this will be covered further in future books." Well for me, I look forward to any book by RB Ramesh, and will buy as many as he puts out, I mean I've got stacks of chess books already, but I'm really excited about this book, and I know it'll help me, proportionally to the time, energy, and effort I put into it. Thank you New in Chess! Love you guys! PS I initially didn't like the book, like afore mentioned, it takes some effort to read the variations, but I'm already seeing that I can just read the variations without putting all the pieces on the board, just visualizing the position after the moves. So I wanted to tell you that if you that, when you get it, put in some work, and I know you'll love the book like I do!
