Hi guys,
I know during calculation I am supposed to find the best move for my opponent, but I really struggle with finding a good move for my opponent without flipping the board, and seeing it from my perspective. Obviously I wouldn't be able to flip the board in a real OTB tourny and 1 day I would like to compete in 1, so I need to learn how to calculate for them from my position. Is that just an experience thing, and it gets easier to find the best moves for your opponent as you do it more? Does anyone have any suggestions in terms of improving ones calculation please?
Also, and I think I will answer this one myself, but just for clarification, at my current level, usually the best move I find for my opponent is not the move they make, maybe it is because they are finding a better move than me, or maybe it is because they are not playing very accurately, I assume I should still always try to find the best move for them because as I improve they will start finding the best moves in any given position, if that makes sense.
Thanks,
Jamie.
