Hi Dann: BTW "planning" is one of those -as many-tricky words whose meaning can be read in many ways. Of course, to begin with, "plans" sounds good, smart. As if not stupid plans are the rule in any kind of areas. Presumes an understanding of what you want, a purpose, but this last one can be very fuzzy and in fact unuseful. Supposes you handle all or main relevant factor that will appear in the future and in fact even in chess, a limited, narrowed universe, that is not posible. So most of the time the so called "planning" is just hoopla. Kind of self congratulation about how smart we are. What in fact we have all the time are desires to get this or that thing, an altoguether a dfferent animal. Playing a game we see some advantage in the queen side and then " we want" to win there and then we imagine a certain winning position and then we "calculate" some line of playing and in the course of all these subjetive musing we miss 90% of the real facts. But, nevertheless, we say that we are "planning" and look from above comps because they does not.... Fernando
