🏋️ Calculation Gym

Strong players don't calculate more — they calculate the right things. Every Gym exercise has two reps: first you pick which candidate moves deserve calculation (checks, captures, threats — before touching a piece), then you calculate your chosen line to the very end and play it out on the board.

The workout (7 exercises)

  1. Warm-up: One Move, Full Discipline
  2. The Blockader Must Be Forced
  3. The Defended Square That Isn't
  4. Calculate to Mate, Not to 'Winning'
  5. A Three-Move Investment
  6. Honest Calculation Kills Pretty Lines
  7. Candidates Without Checks

Both reps train your Calculation mastery. No engine, no takebacks on the candidate pick — just the discipline loop: list, calculate, compare, play.
