I just made 17 sets of conditional moves in a game. Mate in 4 for every possible move he could make :)

What is your record!?

Nice job, yea that is always satisfying, especially when your opponent is dragging out a hopeless position.  I used to throw in a bunch of conditionals in all the time when I had a paying membership, but now as europa said, it's simply luck if I can somehow predict the awful moves that my opponent will make.

He took 30 days vacation, and now is doing a move every 5 days or so. Even when he played conditional moves I had prepared for, he still did only one move...

Yea I hear ya, some people feel like they are going to die if they lose a couple of points off their rating.  At least you can rest assured he is probably experiencing severe denial or frustration over his pending loss against you.  But those same people would appreciate their opponents to resign in a timely fashion for them I'm sure.  Nice...

I had a hilarious situation - against an opponent I gave conditional moves from database. I was adding the conditional after each of his moves - making it appear as one big conditional! My opponent jokingly commented, "if you know what I shall play, why dont you give moves on both sides so I can relax" or something to that effect! hahaha

haha nice.  It actually flusters me a bit when someone throws conditionals at me right out of the opening like that.  I end up playing some odd deviation I would never normally play just so I feel like I'm not getting read like a book. Smile

=) Awsom! But that´d ruin the game, thought it´d be quite nice to do, you always know you´re gonna win!
