Touch move guys, touch move...
What I am trying to say. Conditional moves should be considered as REAL moves. It sounds to me like you are playing around to much. Change your game setting to touch move and play REAL chess. It is the best way to learn!
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.

It still sounds to me that your problem is the submit butoon. If you play chess on live chess @ chess.com. Or any chess computer you will find that there is no such thing as a submit button for every move. You simply drag a piece to the square you wish to move it and release the piece. Thus completing the move. It would be better if you guys just stopped using the submit button OR stoped using conditional moves.

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.
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.
