if you use analyse you can move the pieces on the board yourself and see what moves you can make and what your opponent could reply. conditional moves are moves you play in advance depending on what your opponent plays.

"Analyze" opens up a "pocket chess set" that you can use to move the pieces around and explore possibilities. "Conditional Move" allows you to queue-up a reply to your opponent's most obvious responses. For example, if you are trading the Queens and he pretty well has to re-capture, you could use the Conditional Move button to put in your intended next move as well.
