Top 3 Grandmaster's calculate expressions
To be a good chess player , you must have the ability to calculate . It is a rational and exact procedure . Purely math .

If your skill is extraordinary , you can see the moves ahead . Only a few players in the world have the strength to calculate many moves possibilities in the future of the game .

With a very sharp technique , the minds of those who calculate at a high level end up leaving the board and going elsewhere .

By building inside their heads a tree of perfect moves combination , they take a mathematical journey towards excellence .

Some of them express this ability in their expressions : from faces , necks , hands and fingers .

By the way , what is your calculation 's highest number of moves ( record ! ) in a game ?

( It can be chess , checkers , chess tatics puzzle or any other game in which you can use mathematical calculation to see moviments ahead - how many moves are you able to see ? )
