I finally found a use for a spreadsheet

I have been calculating variations on scraps of paper. A spreadsheet works much better. Kind of looks like the big opening encyclopedias and you can be pretty sure if you have considered a variation in a hurry. The cells are lined up nicely. If you forget something you insert a row. If your opponent remains within your worst nightmare (a variation you calculated that is strong for him) you can maybe cruise for a few moves without thinking quite so much.
Just a thought.
