Three years ago FIDE Master Kostya Kavutskiy, working for Chess.com, released a YouTube video entitled "Calculate Like a Grandmaster". Despite its brevity (just under six minutes) it was well-received. As well it should have been! I now know what I'm doing wrong in the Half-Classic - I am not getting close enough to the board. I will not strive to emulate Fischer's near perfect form when using the Half-Classic method in the future.
Yesterday, Kavutskiy released a new video entitled "How to Blunder Like a Grandmaster". This one is also short, and is also destined to become a classic of chess instruction.
Don't be fooled by the release date of these videos: they provide extremely useful practical advice for all active tournament players. Don't miss them!
