 1: THE SYSTEM   Methodical thinking is of more use in chess than inspiration.
  - Purdy
 2: 1. (It's my turn to move) What are his threats?  What are the consequences
  of his move i.e. affected squares? His objectives?
 3: 2. What are all the moves that I have to consider? (I am considering a
  certain move) What are the consequences (affected squares, interference,
  loose pieces)? Visualize the move as though made, FIRMLY. Search for Checks,
  Captures, Hits.  Does it fail to a 3 move combination?
 4: Tactics is the use of- "smites"- smashing moves
 5: No middlegame combination- however complex it may be- can be anything more
  than a network of elementary smites and compound smites- PURDY
 6: The fact that a player is very short of time is, to my mind, as little to
  be considered an excuse as, for instance, the statement of the law-breaker
  that he was drunk at the time he committed the crime - Alexander Alekhine.
 7: (If I do this what can he do?)
 8: If you are too lazy to find the best move... Play blitz!!
 9: Strategy requires thought, tactics require observation. -Max Euwe
10: Vigilance
