to plan ahead you need only three moves that break down chess its a fairly new method of mine and it looks promising.. at least to me the first two moves is planning to chase the enemy pieces the last move which is actually a series of moves is actually chasing the enemy the first two moves are actually two moves split into two😂.. sorry had to make it clear the first move of those is the future move it's split into 2 now moves and a future move the two now moves are the moves you and your opponent are going to do currently to clear the turn starting with your move the future move is the move your opponent do after that then we look at the second move which is the now its split into 2 moves only and not three one for you and the other is for ur enemy now you got a future and a now which is composed from five moves his move your move his move(the future move) and these three are the future moves and your move his move (the now moves) notice that the future moves begin with the opponents move and ends with his... thats future planning and the now moves begin with your move and his move(thats just thinking about now) now after you do those 5 moves (planning to chase the opponent which are two moves) you do the chasing which is the third move now as i said this third move is actually a series of moves rather than just one move now after you finish chasing (the third move) you start repeating again this process and start with the planing to chase again to automate these thinking processes you know they are just five steps you say future then now then chasing then say chasing is over then say start again then repeat note that saying chasing is over and start again are not actually steps they are used for automating and you should say chasing is over and start again after you say start chasing so these are four stages one you say future the other you say now the third you say chase and the fourth you say chase is over and start again
