Book recommendations for calculation training

Hey folks!

I am *1500 fide player looking for books to improve my calculation skills. I know aagaard's book but this one is way over my strength. I think it's the same with Romain Edouard's books.

I'm interested in the different methods (f.e. starting with forcing moves etc; exclusion etc.)

I'm more of a grinder, going through the easier books first and working my way up.

I would be thankful for every recommendation.

Cheers,
Andy

Dunno how much reading books will help. When lookin for tactics experiece is overriding thingy. 1st part of book is about normal forcing moves ans later about the unnatural looking (whatever that is). Iam sure there is plenty of other books as well

@petri999 i am looking forward to go through this book - i thought it is "just" about forcing moves. thank your for the advice

As far as books are concerned - it might be true that you there are a lot of more modern ways to study. But I usually get way more distracted when i work with chessbase, a video etc.

It's just me and the book (sometimes a board) and that's it - no interferences no excuses. I made huge improvements in the last year.

and most important: I just like to smell the "middle" of a new printed book - year sounds weird and it is! :)

@Aritmar_classical why not just do tactics? Its like looking for a book about swimming
