"Don't chase pieces all over the board without a plan." (v1.0)

It's been said that Chess is the art of analysis. This implies to me,
that if GMs are playing games with 2 hrs time control, I need to tack on
as many analyses as I can to each move. Many of my moves are two
seconds of thought. It's because I have such slow opponents I've been
able to decide ahead of time, based on what they do, my next move.

"If your move chases a piece, examine all the possible places it could
retreat to. If satisfied, go ahead and chase it." (v2.0)

And difficult war
It will be conducted
On many fronts
But as long as it takes
We will prevail
Across the world governments
Have heard this message
You're either with us or you're with the terrorists
Tyranny
Terror
& Lawless Violence"

"Always have a plan" is the best advice I was ever given. So many people
- at my level - think chasing a horse around the place early on is the
way to go. They then find themselves with exposed position and damaged
pawn structure.
