spice
In a recent game I was in the middle of setting up conditional moves when my opponent moved and the condition went through. Before I knew he moved I decided that wasn't the right move to make but it was too late. I know some will say that I should have used the analysis board first, but I actually did and thought my mind was made up, but still changed my mind. I think there should be a submit button for conditional moves, just like regular moves.

That's a good point, spice. I haven't had that exact experience, but I have gone back and changed a move, hoping I could get in and get it deleted before it was too late. I can envision someone making an accidental move (especially with a laptop mouse) and getting caught before they can undo it, since there is no submit button. But then I have also made blunders which I saw about 2 seconds after I did hit the submit button
In this case, touch move may have worked for me because my first thought was the right move I think. However on average if I used touch moves I would lose a lot more than I already do.
I might stop using the conditional moves and just be more patient. Right now I am using a laptop and dragging and releasing would be difficult.
That is a good point. I would not do well myself on the lap top touch pad...
