Big thank you to IMBacon and magipi

Just wanted to say thanks IMBacon and magipi for helping me - all of us, really - improve (at puzzles...I'll get around to 45 minute games). IMBacon, I've printed out your checklist so I have no choice but to stare at it. It's helped immensely and puzzle solutions are starting to appear that I'd never have figured out before.

Magipi, your advice can be harsh but fair. You said I looked "exactly 0 moves ahead. By that I mean that he makes random good-looking moves without even considering if the opponent can take any piece in the very next move." You were right. Each move needs to have a purpose beyond just "development" and I can hear a voice in my head telling me to think about responses to my move and my response to that response. 

Anyways, just wanted to say thank you for helping so many people on the beginner forum. I know it probably gets tiring telling us the same thing over and over, but it really does help.

Keep up the good work lol
