Haha, that's good! We'll see if he accepts my apology, though. (I wonder if this is the first time in a RHP forum where someone actually apologized?) 🙂

I doubt that I could properly calculate 10-15 moves into an OTB game without going into time trouble (unless my opponent's in a mating net or something, then sure, why not?)

In a cc game I suppose I could write it all down on paper...but...

I say go buy Play Winning Chess and Winning Chess Tactics by Yasser Seirawan.

Second this suggestion. Seirawan's books are excellent for beginners. A worthwhile investment and much less painful than beating your head against the board.

To Ice Cold, I recognize that my original reply to you was abrupt and probably could have been worded in a softer manner, and I apologize for that posting. Do you accept my apology?

Take your apology and shove it sideways.

OK, I tried to be civil. But having read your public posts in other threads, your comment doesn't really surprise me. Good luck in dealing with your issues.
