the secret to winning games

and it's being used against me to great effect - good conversation!
I've recently met some excellent people over the board (Kirk & Coyote
to name 2), and find myself going to the board dying to see their
lastest comment, typing my response, and THEN realising I've got to
make a move.
I'm onto you guys...

I've noticed this, just as you are starting to get to know someone.....
BAM! your checkmated.

Why you.....

Yeah! That would be a good tactic. Too bad I don't know how to use it
to my advantage. Actually, I do the same thing...I use to struggle to
make a quick move, then answer the messages. Now I answer the
message first, then stop to THINK about my move before rushing into
it. It hasn't helped that much.

P.S. The good players, like you belgianfreak, beat me anyway most of
the time, unless they just lose sight of something and I'm alert at the
moment.

Thanks, Jon, and trust me it has been my worst enemy too. Kirk
