Count it through

Calculation in chess is counting a sequence to the end. Off the board, the counting becomes a habit only if you practise it there too, as this week’s task asks.

On the board, before a capture, you follow every capture on that square to the end. Who is ahead when the captures stop? Here exd5 exd5 leaves White a knight for a pawn up.
