How it works

  1. 1

    Read the line

    A stretch of a real game.

  2. 2

    Hold the board

    It changes only in your head.

  3. 3

    Answer three questions

    What can be taken, what attacks what.

What it trains

Most calculation errors come from losing the picture: a piece you thought was gone, a line you thought was closed.

Keeping track trains that picture, one move deeper at a time.
