I agree completly, I will never understand that kind of people..
By the way, I also think that the best thing to do is to replay the whole game
and then start thinking about your move instead of just pasting the pgn into
winboard.
Long time ago, I did like you said ,just pasting the moves in, and when I was
thinking about my move, I didn´t understood the position correctly..That´s why
maybe to replay the game is the best..
