hehe.. My wife went and nicely documented her steps in her notebook on what she is going to do in her game.. and the next three moves she was planning on making.. but.. instead of putting it in the notebook, she put it in the message box and sent it to the opponent.
hehe
Opponent responded saying Nice Plan.

I had this happen in a game just after I joined rhp. The message confused the hell out of me at first til my opponent explained what had happened. I didn't mention the mistake in the analysis but I did learn never to use the notebook 😉

I only use the notebook when I find a completely forcing line that is long enough that I might not remember it part way through.
That way if I accidently send it to the opponent what does it matter, they can't do anything about it.

My wife is kind of new at this, so she gets her games mixed up too much, so she has to use the notebook.. she's not a strong player, so she's trying to learn this way. She can't look at a board and know the best way to go.., instead she goes by following her plan that she thought up, which, if the person takes too long to move, she forgets the plan.
