I do like the idea of limiting the amount of times you can takeback a move though. One of the things that I have not done in a while is to play the game out, and then go back to the point where I felt the game really went sour, and try to come up with a better move at position. But I have not taken full advantage of Chess programs as far as improving my tactical game of Chess, so this is all just opinions on my part. Pete
