Uri, Yes, a human will not be able to see _everything_ like a computer does, but don't you think if one worked hard they could progressively "see" everything up to a certain depth? For example, let's say that I started off and just learned chess, and I was only able to see 1 ply ahead and capture pieces en prise. If I worked on my tactics, soon I would be able to see tactics that involved 2 plies, then 3 plies, and then 4 plies. My goal is to be able to make sure that I am solid up to a certain level of plies. For example, I want to be able to _know_ that I will not fall victim to any tactics 2 plies or less, then I want to increase that to 3, then 4, and go as deep as I can. I think that in most games, unless the opponent is very strong in tactics also, that a player will make "small" tactical errors, and if you are able to catch _everything_ within a certain number of plies, then you would win many games from tactics alone. In other words, I want to _know_ that I am 100% solid up to a certain depth. For example, I might find a 5 move combination in a game, but I might only be "100% solid" up to 4 plies. I want to know what depth it is that I am able to catch every tactical error my opponent. What do you think? Russell
