conditionals

I was writing this article and I'd like to check this conditional sentence which I made type 3

I had no escape but to wait for the next move, because if I had jumped at him and tried to snatch the card he would have had the time to put his threats into action.

(1) I think that you have written a very nice sentence.

(2) I would make only a few little changes:

I had no choice but to wait for his next move, for if I had jumped at him

and (had) tried to snatch the card, he would have had time to put his

threats into action.
