“When you see a good move, look for a better one” (Emanuel Lasker)
This is a great chess quote. When you're about to make your "good" move, you stop and ask yourself if there is a "better" move hiding somewhere on the board. This is a good habit to get into. That is chess, by not taking your moves for granted you force yourself to think just a little bit more.
no
No? It's easier to have the computer do it?
i love that quote, even though most of the time i move before i think :P
Actually this is right. But most importantly look at the consequences can you're opponent do any damage at you with there own pieces. Look at all you're opponents pieces, all Bishop diagonals, Knights forks, Rook files and ranks, Queens paths, and the Pawns.
The only move that shouldn't be double thought is checkmate.
yes
