Ummm I didn't start this thread to have arguments on it,

 

I think I simply asked a few basic questions, and MAINLY the one about how do I learn to look for mistakes in others playing but after reading a few AWESOME posts and suggestions I think I have the grasp of it and now need to put it to practice, or at least try to and I know that's gonna take a lot of games.

 

So thank you all for the inputs =)

Now do the smart thing and burn this post down.  What happened was bound to happen.  It was taken over and destroyed.  Hopefully you got some useful info.

Now I am trying to get serious with it and learn ... I'm not sure how to attack, ...

I think that these are books that try to help with that sort of issue.
