I would like to use permanent conditional moves.
So I would create once an opening tree and use it several times.

Then you could publish it here so we'd all know what to expect if we played you... :-(O)

Isaac Asimov wrote a science fiction story in which to cut the time it took to send and receive messages to a distant planet, the sender would predict what the receiver would reply and so sent his next message accordingly. I can't recall the title of the book (or short story) and it is probably about 50 years old. Just goes to prove there is nothing new under the sun,(unless of course a certain member will explain otherwise).

MrDJRVD your absolutely right, my deepest apologies for my glaring mistake, conditional moves would be the correct terminology.

tewald you mention the very reason why I found this feature most useful, during play I spot some great little line or move and on this site I may not come back to the same game for another 7 days by which time I've forgotten the move that makes me feel superior to all lessor mortals and my glory is thereby snatched from my hungry ego. Yes I could have written it down in the notes tab but the conditional move option would be nice, and if a line is forced, i.e there are no other moves available, why would you not use conditional moves? Seems a no brainer to me and have to admit I'm baffled why someone would be against the idea *cough* Corvidae, it's not like I'm proposing everyone will be forced to use it under penalty of expulsion from the site, it would just be nice to have the option.

"If-then" moves option seems like a good idea, it works fine on other sites. In fact I mentioned such possible option on this forum a good time ago, but Miguel obviously hasn't picked it up.
