i think i might win more games if i had a standard mouse, which i dont have now. all im using is the touch-pad on the computer & somtimes it gets all sketchy on me & i end up missing moves, losing time. eventually losing games. any suggestions?

You talk about running out of time, I guess there are a lot of people out there with a problem because I win alot of games because the person I am playing runs out of time and that is before the game starts. Good thing it does not effect no ones rating because I then would have a false rating of 1500.

Play longer games!
They'll help improve your game anyways. The longer the game, the more you can think out your moves and improve.

the touch-pad definately takes some time getting used to, but with practice you'll be able to play quick games without a problem.. either that.. or buy a new comp :D

Just buy basic usb optical mouse. You can get them from as little as $5 from www.newegg.com or www.amazon.com and you'll never use the touchpad again.

Hey J,
Get a regular mouse - with USB if your laptop has a USB port - if it has a circular pin port, I have amouse you can use...If you're timing out, play games with more time - I rarely take a game that's less than three days - too fast...

Get a standard mouse?
