i have 'discovered' the analysis board...i always knew it was there but
never bothered with it....i started to use it when i joined my first
tournament..the 0-999 speedy christmas...now my 'hasty' and bad
moves have been cut down drastically and i do not often lose a piece
to a knight fork as i can see it coming with the analysis board...for those of you who have not used this tool i do very much recommend
it...it fills in the holes in your game where you made quick and unreflective moves....i am now 10 games ahead of my nearest tournament competitor and only 2 of those games were from a timeout
becuase a tourney player never played...i could not have gotten so far
playing my old way...
you see....i have emotional moments of brilliant play...i was reading
oppenheimer's biography thru the winter and spring ( a christmas
present...it is american prometheus ) so i played better as i was in
the company of a great man...then i became despondent and i quit
the site...resigning all my games...so now i struggle back ( no i do
not see a psychiatrist or take drugs...i just struggle back....anyway i
am getting off the mark...i will soon be back at about 1150 in about
two months and that is my skill level....but i may take you on mr. ravello...i took on mctayto of pc's were made for chess last week...he
was 300 points above me and i took him to a draw.....)...
