Originally posted by greenpawn34I have actually done that in a particularly interesting endgame as I thought it would be a good learning experience and simply couldn't wait for the game to end(especially since endgames are one of my weakest points relatively speaking). But, I do things like that when analyzing the openings I play. So I get the pleasure of it. But, I don't feel the need to do it for 99 percent of the games(while they are in progress, I like looking afterwards to see if either or those 2 ideas I kept going back and forth on were better for a deeper reason).
Hi
Not read all the thread - most of it just seemed nipping at each other.
But caught this:
"By saying you refuse to take out a board and play out variations..."
This is the real joy of C.C. chess. You can sit down at your board
to plot, plan and bewilder.
(or to discover just how much trouble you really are in).
You are missing a lot ...[text shortened]... the
position. There is no doubt you get ideas.
Some good - most bad - but you do get ideas.
Once again whatever floats your boat.
